Official Telegram Bot API
Posts ship through Telegram's official Bot API to your channels (broadcast) or groups (community). No browser automation, no scraping, no risk of rate-limit bans.
Post to Telegram
Auto-post to Telegram channels with AI in your voice
Croni learns how you write, drafts updates for your Telegram channel, and publishes natively via the official Bot API - so your community gets consistent, on-brand updates without you copy-pasting from drafts.

Channel + group support
Connect a public or private Telegram channel for one-to-many broadcasts, or a discussion group for two-way community messages. Croni keeps separate cadences for each.
MarkdownV2 + HTML formatting preserved
Bold, italic, code blocks, links, mentions and inline keyboards all preserved in published messages. Drafts render in Telegram exactly as you saw them in the editor.
For Telegram-first founders, community builders and newsletter operators
Telegram channels are some of the highest-engagement audiences on the internet - but they punish quiet weeks brutally. Skip a few days and your open rate craters; ship inconsistently and your subscribers stop opening the channel at all.
Croni was built for the consistency problem. It captures your voice, drafts on a cadence you set (daily updates, three a week, whatever fits), and publishes via the Telegram Bot API so messages appear native - no third-party tag, no 'sent via' suffix.
You stay the editor of every message. Croni just removes the friction between an idea and a published broadcast.
How it works
- 01
Create a bot + add to channel
Tell BotFather what to name your bot, copy the token into Croni, and add the bot as an admin of your channel with post permissions.
- 02
Approve drafts
Croni proposes Telegram-formatted updates in your voice from trends, your topics or your other social posts. Approve, edit, skip.
- 03
Native publishing
Approved drafts ship via the official Bot API at the times your channel is most active. No 'via Croni' suffix.
Frequently asked questions
Does Croni use the official Telegram Bot API?
Yes. Croni publishes through Telegram's official Bot API with the bot you create via @BotFather. There's no scraping, no user-impersonation, no behavior Telegram penalizes.
Can I publish to private channels?
Yes. Private channels work the same way as public - invite the bot as an admin with post permissions and Croni publishes natively.
What about Telegram groups (vs channels)?
Both supported. Channels are one-to-many broadcasts; groups are two-way community chats. Croni respects the difference - channel posts read like broadcasts, group posts read like a member sharing.
Will the formatting (bold, links, code) survive?
Yes - Croni publishes using MarkdownV2 or HTML formatting modes (your choice per channel). Bold, italic, code blocks, hyperlinks and mentions all render correctly.
Can I cross-post the same content to Telegram + LinkedIn + X?
Yes - and Croni rewrites per platform rather than copy-pasting. Telegram gets the longer, more conversational version; X gets the punchy take; LinkedIn gets the structured post.
Is Telegram on the free plan?
Yes - connect one Telegram channel on the free plan with no card. Paid plans unlock more channels and additional platforms.
