Post to your Telegram channel or group from OmniSocials: photos, videos, albums, polls and link buttons.

Post to Telegram

Telegram is now a channel in OmniSocials. Plan and schedule posts for your Telegram channel or group in the same composer and on the same calendar as your other channels.

A post from the OmniSocials composer arrives in a Telegram channel with a link button, and the first reactions come in

A Telegram post can hold text, a photo, a video, a GIF or an album of up to 10 photos and videos. The Telegram options let you send a post without a sound, pin it, stop forwarding, blur the media until someone taps it, put the text above the media, add up to three link buttons and add a first comment. Telegram polls work too: the text of the post is the question.

A long text under media is no problem. Telegram allows 1,024 characters under a photo or video, so OmniSocials sends the media first and the full text as a reply under it.

Connect it in Telegram

Open Channels and pick Telegram. The OmniSocials bot opens in Telegram. Press Start, tap Choose a channel or Choose a group and pick your chat. In a channel, Telegram adds the bot as an admin that can post. In a group, the bot joins as a member. OmniSocials checks that you are an admin of that chat, so nobody can connect a chat that is not theirs.

Reactions and polls

The post page shows the reactions per emoji and the votes of a poll. Telegram does not share view counts with apps, so views show N/A. Analytics shows your subscribers.

Improved

  • Repost to Telegram - a repost automation can now copy posts from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and the other sources to your Telegram channel or group.
  • Telegram in the API - the public API, the MCP server, the CLI and the SDKs take the telegram channel and its options. See the platform guides in the docs.
  • N/A for numbers a channel does not report - the post page and the Posts list show N/A instead of 0 when no channel of a post reports a number, such as views on Bluesky, Mastodon and Telegram. When some channels of a post report a number and others do not, a line under the numbers says which channel is left out.
  • A fairer engagement rate - on the post page, the engagement rate of a post on several channels now counts only the channels that report views. Before, the likes on Bluesky, Mastodon or Telegram counted without their views and made the rate too high.
