Telegram

Telegram delivers to everyone who opted in, no ranking, no reach throttling. Sosial connects your bot to a channel or group and queues messages with formatting and media intact, so an announcement lands the moment you schedule it.

#Connect Telegram

Telegram posts through a bot that you own.

1. Message @BotFather in Telegram, create a bot and copy its token.
2. Add the bot to your channel or group as an admin.
3. In Sosial, open Channels → Telegram, paste the bot token and the destination: @mychannel, or a numeric id like -1001234567890.
4. Select Connect.

#Limits

The composer checks these as you type, so a post that's too long for Telegram is flagged before it's scheduled.

#What works on Telegram

• Product and release announcements
• Community updates for a channel
• Time-sensitive drops

#Tips

#Write for the notification, not the archive

The first line is what shows in a push. Lead with the news, not the preamble.

#Use formatting to make it scannable

Bold the key line and put details on their own lines. A wall of plain text gets skimmed and closed.

#Keep the cadence predictable

Subscribers stay for a reason. A steady rhythm of useful posts beats occasional bursts nobody expected.

#Avoid

• Treating a channel like a broadcast billboard and posting every hour.
• Long blocks of text with no line breaks on mobile.
• Broken links that Telegram previews but the reader cannot open.
