Frequently Asked Questions

How does posting to Telegram work through Claude Code?

Upload-Post handles all the Telegram Bot API complexity behind a simple API. When you tell Claude Code to post to Telegram, the skill sends your content to the Upload-Post API, which delivers it to your channel or chat using your bot token and chat_id. Your message appears in Telegram just as if you posted it from the app.

What do I need to set up to post to Telegram?

You need a Telegram bot token and a chat_id. Create a bot with BotFather to get the token, add the bot to your channel or group, and provide the chat_id of the destination. Once connected to Upload-Post, you can start publishing immediately from Claude Code.

What media formats does the Telegram integration support?

Telegram through Upload-Post supports text posts, photo posts (JPEG, PNG, WebP), and video posts. You can send a text message on its own or attach media to it. Files respect the Telegram Bot API size limits for the destination chat or channel.

Can I post to multiple Telegram channels or chats?

Yes. You can target different channels and chats by supplying the matching chat_id for each destination. From Claude Code you choose where to publish, so announcements, release notes, and media each go to the right channel or group.

Can I cross-post to Telegram and other platforms simultaneously?

Yes. Upload-Post supports multi-platform publishing in a single API call. Include multiple platforms in your request, such as platform[]=telegram&platform[]=discord&platform[]=x, and your content is published to all of them simultaneously. Each platform receives properly formatted content that respects its specific requirements.
