Telegram channel automation
CaptainPost moves posts across the Telegram channels you own. Describe the routes between them once, and publishing runs without you, around the clock.
Nothing to install · 2-minute setup · Free to start
The problem
Write the post. Publish. Copy. Open the next channel. Paste. Fix the formatting that broke. Repeat. Every day.
How many times one action repeats across a ten-channel network. Making a mistake is a matter of when, not if.
Lines of code to configure. A wizard inside the bot — no config files, no server, no deploy.
Routes keep running while you sleep, travel, or do something more useful.
How it works
Setup takes two minutes and happens entirely inside Telegram.
Login through the official Telegram Web App. The session is encrypted, and you can revoke it any time from Telegram's Devices settings.
Where posts come from and where they go. Several sources, several destinations, as many routes as you need.
Per route: review before publishing or not, on what schedule, and what happens to links along the way.
Capabilities
This is what separates it from a simple forwarder. One route can require review, another publishes instantly, a third only fires in the morning.
Many sources, many destinations, arbitrary connections between them. Every pair is configured on its own.
Posts arrive for approval before going live. Approve, edit or reject in a single tap.
Publish at a chosen time rather than the moment something appears upstream. Useful across time zones.
Links in your content are swapped for the ones you want: partner links, referrals, UTM-tagged URLs.
Promotional posts in aggregated feeds stop at the gate unless you want them through.
A signature pointing at the original is appended automatically. Syndication with credit, not anonymous reposting.
The same material reads differently in a business channel and an entertainment one. Style is set per route.
A multi-photo gallery moves as one post instead of scattering into separate messages. Formatting and inline links survive.
Comparison
Cross-platform tools reach Telegram through the Bot API. That carries limits which a channel network runs straight into.
| What you need | Social schedulers | Zapier / Make | CaptainPost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telegram as the primary platform | One channel among many | Via a generic connector | The only platform |
| Read a channel you don't administrate | Bot API cannot | Bot API cannot | User session |
| Multi-photo albums | Often break apart | Manual reassembly | Move intact |
| Per-route rules | Settings are global | One scenario per pair | Built into the route |
| Cost as the network grows | Priced per account | Priced per operation | Independent of route count |
| What it takes to start | Signup, connect, configure | Build the scenario by hand | A wizard in the bot, 2 min |
Pricing
Nothing scales with the number of channels or routes. Add the eleventh channel and the bill stays where it was.
USD and EUR are converted from the rouble price and rounded up. Current terms are always shown in the bot under Profile.
Who it's for
A main channel plus per-city versions. Shared material goes everywhere, local material stays local.
English, Spanish and Russian channels of one project, with tone adapted per route.
Client channels under one panel, each with its own rules and its own review queue.
Head-office content reaches every location with local contacts and links substituted in.
Agreed sources aggregated into a themed feed with proper credit.
A mirror channel in case of a takedown, or moving an archive to a new address.
Privacy
Not a line in a privacy policy — a decision in the schema. The user identifier is replaced with an irreversible HMAC hash at write time, so a database dump doesn't tie records to people.
Questions
Native scheduling handles when a post goes out in one channel, and it does that well — for a single channel you need nothing else. CaptainPost handles the other problem: getting the post into every channel of a network, with separate rules per route.
The Bot API can only publish where a bot is an administrator, and it cannot read a channel you merely subscribe to. Real channel setups hit that wall quickly. A user session removes both limits. The tradeoff is real: you're trusting a service with account access, which is why sessions are encrypted and why you can revoke them from Settings → Devices whenever you want.
A multi-photo gallery moves as a single post rather than scattering into separate messages. Bold text, inline links, spoilers and quotes survive, because the markup travels with the text instead of being rebuilt from scratch.
No. The terms permit channels you own or administrate, and sources that have given permission, with attribution. Copying third-party content without permission infringes copyright and breaks Telegram's rules — a complaint of that kind gets both the bot and the channel disabled. We act on rightsholder reports.
Seven days free with everything unlocked, no card required. After that $7 / €6 / 500 ₽ a month for automatic copying, or $25 / €22 / 1990 ₽ a month if you also want the review queue, tone adaptation and ad filtering. Neither price scales with the number of routes or channels — that's rather the point. See Pricing.
Your channels stay yours and the posts in them stay put. CaptainPost doesn't own your content and doesn't keep posts longer than a transfer requires. Session access is revocable from Telegram's own settings, independently of us.
Nothing to install. Open the bot, connect your account, name two channels.
