Schedule posts to Telegram channels
A Telegram channel is one of the few places you truly own your reach - every subscriber sees every post. Crosspost publishes to your channel through your own bot, on your schedule, alongside everything else you post.
Connect Telegram in three steps
- Create a bot in one minute with @BotFather in Telegram and copy the bot token.
- Add the bot as an administrator of your channel (it needs post permission).
- In Crosspost, open Channels, choose Telegram, and paste the bot token plus your channel's @username.
What you can post
Text and image posts, broadcast to your channel or group. Media captions respect Telegram's limit for captioned messages.
Reach that platforms cannot throttle
No algorithm sits between a Telegram channel and its subscribers. Scheduling here means your most reliable audience gets your content at the right time of day, every day.
The same content, one publish
Turn the day's Instagram or X post into a Telegram broadcast in one action - targets are checkboxes and captions are editable per platform.
Your bot, your control
Publishing runs through a bot you created and can revoke in @BotFather at any moment. The token is encrypted at rest and used only to post what you scheduled.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work for groups as well as channels?
Yes - anywhere your bot is an admin with permission to post. Channels are the classic broadcast case; groups work the same way.
Do I need my own bot?
Yes, and that is a feature: creating one with @BotFather takes about a minute, and you stay in full control - rename it, brand it, or revoke its token whenever you like.
Can subscribers tell it is scheduled?
Posts appear in the channel from your bot like any other channel post. There is no 'scheduled by' label.
