Postly for Telegram
Publish to connected Telegram destinations with webpage preview, notification, protection, topic, reply, formatting, and interactive-button controls.
Where you can publish
Content formats
Plan your first publish
Connect an authorized Telegram destination and confirm the bot can publish there. Prepare the message and attachments, select any topic, buttons, or silent-delivery options, then choose the publishing time in Postly.
Prepare a weekly community announcement with a registration button. Check the destination channel or group topic, test the button URL, and decide whether the announcement should notify members.
Inside your publishing workspace
Save named presets for your Telegram workflows, choose a preset when preparing content, and review the settings before publishing. Create, rename, and manage presets in your workspace.
Presets supply reusable defaults. Review content-specific settings and account permissions for every post.
You can also apply presets across organization workspaces where you have permission to manage them.
Put it into practice
Follow these focused guides for the formats and publishing decisions that matter on Telegram.
Choose a channel or group where your connected bot is authorized.
Compose the message, attach media, and choose whether to show a webpage preview.
Select silent delivery or pinning when appropriate, then preview and schedule.
Keep in mind: Check the bot's destination permissions if delivery or pinning fails.
Choose a supported button action and write a short, descriptive label.
Enter and test its destination; set a topic/thread ID when targeting a group topic.
Check formatting and any spoiler or content-protection settings before sending.
Keep in mind: Use a URL button for a straightforward visit to a page; advanced bot actions need a working handler.

Yes. Enable Pin message in Telegram settings.
Yes. Add supported inline keyboard actions, including links and copy-text buttons.
Delete from Postly, DELETE /posts/{postId}, and postly_delete_post remove only the post in Postly. Live content remains on every platform. Save live links and provider IDs before removing the post. For supported published content, open the dashboard post menu and choose Delete on Platforms. Keep the post in Postly and review every destination result. Delete Everywhere removes the post only after every destination is resolved. A platform may refuse removal of an individual post. Review the result before assuming it is gone. Telegram allows deletion of messages less than 48 hours old.
Postly sends photos by public URL: maximum 5 MB per image. Up to 10 attachments per media group. Personal Telegram account allowances do not apply to bots. MP4 videos are sent by multipart upload through the Bot API: up to 50 MB. Starter/LTD allowance is 20 MB; Pro is 50 MB. Personal-account 2 GB or 4 GB allowances do not apply.
One attachment sends a single media message; two to ten supported photos/videos can form a media group. The ten-file limit is per group, not a daily allowance.
Upload supported image formats, including JPEG and PNG. In the editor, Postly automatically converts supported images when a destination needs a different format, while keeping compatible images unchanged. Use Fix images in the channel preview for remaining size or aspect-ratio issues, then review the result. Repairs are checked again. Tiny originals, unreadable files and images that still exceed requirements need replacing or manual export. Enlarging cannot restore missing detail. Videos are not automatically compressed or re-encoded.
Review each destination separately. A successful destination should not be republished just because another failed. If the result is unconfirmed, check the live destination before retrying to avoid duplicates. Correct rejected media and retry only the affected destination.
Choose an authorized Telegram group and set the topic/thread ID in platform settings. Prepare the message and buttons, check formatting and bot permissions, then schedule.
Connect your account, build the post, review every platform setting, and schedule from one Postly workspace.
