Posting to Telegram

Yoomru posts your products to Telegram channels and groups through a bot you own, with photo albums, silent sends and an inline product button.

Connecting

Telegram connects through a bot instead of a login:

1. In Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the prompts. Copy the bot token.
2. Add the bot to your channel or group as an administrator with permission to post.
3. In Yoomru, open Channels, press Add channel, then Connect on the Telegram row.
4. Paste the bot token and the channel: a public @username or the numeric chat id for private channels. If the bot has seen recent activity, Yoomru suggests the chats it found.

One bot can serve many channels and groups; connect each as its own channel.

What you can post

• Text posts from your template.
• Photo albums: multiple product images are sent as one album with the caption on the first item.
• Generated product videos.
• An inline Read More button under the post that opens the product page, with your own button text.

Channel settings

• Auto-share to this channel with product filters.
• Silent notifications: deliver posts without a notification sound for subscribers.
• Add a Read More button and its text.
• Customize content for per-channel templates.
• Labels for planner targeting.

Tips and limits

• If posting stops after an admin change, re-check that the bot is still an administrator of the channel.
• Telegram captions are limited to 1024 characters on media posts; longer text is sent as a separate message.
• Private channels use the numeric -100... chat id; forward a message from the channel to @getidsbot if you need to find it.
