A submissions bot for Telegram
Subscribers send your bot ads or news with photos. The bot publishes them in your channel. Useful for local classifieds, community news or noticeboards. Set it up step by step, without code.
- Photo and text — published in your channel as received
- Author details — their name and username so people can contact them
- No links — the bot rejects ads linking to websites
- One a day — or one an hour, one a week, or unlimited
How it works
