How to post to Telegram from ChatGPT.Two minutes, no API key.

Why run Telegram from a conversationChatGPT writes, Breakreach publishes.

A Telegram channel is a broadcast list, and broadcast lists die from irregularity. Posting from wherever you are already writing is the cheapest way to keep one alive.

Nothing runs on your machine. Once a post is scheduled, it publishes from our servers, so ChatGPT can be closed and your laptop can be off.

What you can post to TelegramAnd how to ask for each.

• Text messageUp to 4,096 characters, sent to your channel.Send this update to my Telegram channel
• Photo or videoOne photo or one video with a caption of up to 1,024 characters.Send the launch photo with this caption

Let ChatGPT write the Telegram postThen say what to change.

A channel post is read like a message from you, so ask for something short and direct. Formatting isn't applied, so skip bold and use line breaks.

Schedule it instead of posting nowOr let it take the next free slot.

Name a time and the post is scheduled in your workspace's time zone. Or skip the time: use my next free slot puts it in the first open slot of your posting schedule, which is weekdays at 11 AM and 4 PM until you change it in Breakreach. Scheduled Telegram posts go out from Breakreach's servers, so the conversation, the app and your laptop can all be closed.

After it's publishedStats, edits and deletions.

How it did

Your channel's member count comes back. Views per message are not available through the connector.

Edit or delete it

Until it goes out, you can change anything from the conversation: move it to Friday, change the caption, turn it back into a draft. A failed post can be fixed and rescheduled the same way. Once it's published, the connector can't edit or delete it on Telegram, and deleting it in Breakreach only takes it off the calendar, so edit or remove a published post in Telegram.

What Telegram requiresAnd the limits to know.

• Publishes to Telegram channels you administer.

What it can't do yet

• Albums of several photos.
• Documents.
• Bold, italics and other formatting.

Three things people do with it

• Push a release note to your channel the moment it is written
• Mirror your X posts for subscribers who live in Telegram
• Schedule announcements for a timezone you are not in

A safe routine for a teamDrafts first, then the calendar.

• Ask for drafts, not postsSay save it as a draft and nothing is scheduled. Drafts land in the Breakreach calendar, where the team can read them, and schedule the draft for Thursday at 9 AM turns one into a post.
• Review in the calendarEvery Telegram post, from ChatGPT, the API or the app, sits on the same calendar with its time, account and media. Open one to edit it or move it.
• Name the brandWith several workspaces, the connector uses your first one unless you name another, so say which brand the post is for.
• Approve each postSet ChatGPT to ask before it acts (details below), so nothing is published without someone clicking allow.
• Know when something failsA post that hits a temporary error is retried up to three times over 30 minutes. If it still fails, it's marked failed in the calendar with a notification, and you can fix and reschedule it from the chat.
• Revoke access anytimeDisconnect the connector in ChatGPT and the assistant can't post any more. Posts already scheduled stay in the calendar until you cancel them.

Using the connector in ChatGPTPlans, confirmations, phones.

• Which plans have itPlugins from the ChatGPT directory are available across ChatGPT plans, and OpenAI notes that access depends on your plan, workspace, role and region. On Business workspaces apps are on by default and admins can turn them off. On Enterprise and Edu, new plugins stay off until an admin enables them.
• Confirmations before postingChatGPT can show an approval card naming Breakreach and the action before it runs, with options such as Deny, Allow once or Always allow. You choose the default in Settings → Plugins → Permissions: always ask, allow reads only, allow low-risk actions (the default), or allow all actions for one app. To approve every post yourself, pick Always ask.
• Web, desktop and phonePlugins work on the web and in the ChatGPT desktop app, and OpenAI's release notes also cover them on mobile and in voice.
• DisconnectingIn Settings → Plugins, select Breakreach, open the menu on the account and choose Disconnect. Posts already scheduled in Breakreach still go out, so cancel them in the calendar if you need to.

Other ways to post to Telegram from ChatGPTAnd when they're the better choice.

• Telegram's own schedulingHold the send button in any Telegram app and choose Schedule Message; each channel has its own queue. Better when you're already writing in Telegram. Telegram
• Zapier or MakeBoth send messages through a bot as soon as their trigger fires. Bots can't schedule messages in Telegram itself. Zapier, Make
• Copy and pasteAsk the assistant for the text, then post it yourself in the app. Free and fine for a post or two, but nothing is scheduled and the assistant can't see how it did.

When it doesn't workThe fixes for what people run into.

• The bot cannot postIt needs to be an administrator of the channel with permission to post messages. Add it again from the channel settings.
• My media did not go throughTelegram fetches the file from its link and accepts up to 5 MB for a photo and 20 MB for a video that way. Compress larger files.
• Can it post to a group?Channels are what we support. Groups behave differently and are not covered today.
