Telegram
Bot posting to channels and groups, with formatting and albums.
Telegram publishing works through a bot you own, posting into a channel or group where that bot is an admin.
Connecting
Create a bot with @BotFather, make it an admin of your channel or group, then enter the bot token and the chat (@channelname or a numeric ID) in Accounts → Connect → Telegram.
What you can publish
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Text message | 4,096 characters |
| Caption with media | 1,024 characters: the caption limit governs the moment media rides along |
| Media per post | Up to 10 photos or videos, as an album |
| Photo size | 10 MB |
| Video size | MP4, up to 50 MB |
Posts render with formatting: a bold title, the body, a Read more link when the post has one, and hashtags. One photo or video sends as a single captioned message; several send as an album with the caption on the first item.
Per post you can send silently (no notification sound) and protect content (no forwarding or saving), the same options Telegram offers.
Analytics
The Bot API exposes no per-message metrics, so post analytics are empty; the member count of the channel or group is read back as the follower number.
Deleting
Deleting the post in FoPost deletes the message from the channel.
