Telegram

Telegram requires that you create your own Telegram Bot, which is then granted access to your chosen group(s) and channel(s). Social Post Flow will then use that Bot to post to your groups and channels.

Information Icon

We recommend installing the Telegram Desktop app to register your bot and assign it to your groups and channels. You won’t need the desktop app once you’ve connected the bot to Social Post Flow.

Register Bot

Visit BotFather at https://t.me/BotFather

Click the Start button:

Telegram: BotFather: Create New Bot: Start

Click the Open button:

Telegram: BotFather: Create New Bot: Open

Enter a name for your Bot, along with an optional image and about section. Ensure the username ends with bot:

Telegram: BotFather: Create New Bot: Blank Form

For example, if we were creating a bot for our own business called Social Post Flow:

Telegram: BotFather: Create New Bot: Filled Form

Click Create Bot, and copy the token displayed on screen.

Create your Group or Channel

Information Icon

If you have an existing Group / Channel you want to post to from Social Post Flow, you can move to the next section.

If you haven’t yet created a Telegram Group or Channel, you can do this in the Telegram desktop app by selecting New Group or New Channel:

Telegram: New Channel

Enter the channel information

Telegram: Create Channel

Assign Bot to Channel / Group

Information Icon

If you don’t have a Telegram Bot and/or any channels or groups, refer to the above documentation steps first.

Once created, view the channel and click the 3 dots > Info

Telegram: Channel Menu

Click Administrators
