Schedule posts to Telegram: limits, media rules and setup
Telegram is a messaging channel. Publaro publishes there directly, with 4,096 characters per post and the platform's own media rules checked for you.
Publaro publishes to Telegram directly
Posts go to Telegram through its official API, at the time you schedule them. If Telegram does not answer after a post was sent, Publaro marks it "check needed" instead of sending it again, so a post never goes out twice.
