The short answer
Connect your Telegram account, give PlatPost one idea, and approve the drafts it writes in your voice. Drag a draft onto a day, tick Telegram, and PlatPost posts it at the time you chose.

What you need to post to Telegram
Messages to a channel or group. You send a code to a bot.
Open Connected Channels and press Connect next to Telegram. PlatPost shows a code that works for 15 minutes. You send that code to the bot it names in Telegram, and your channel or group is connected.
How to schedule a Telegram post
The steps are the same for every network.
- Connect your Telegram account in Connected Channels.
- Open Create, type one idea and pick a tone. PlatPost writes three drafts in your own voice.
- Edit the drafts, fill any gap, and keep the ones you like.
- Drag a kept draft onto a day on the calendar and tick Telegram.
- Set the time. PlatPost posts it then, and the calendar shows that it went out.
Telegram limits that PlatPost checks
The text limit PlatPost uses for Telegram is 4,096 characters. The composer counts as you type.
A Telegram post can be text alone. You can add an image or a video from the media studio.
Post to Telegram and your other networks together
One idea can go to Telegram and to any of the other 15 networks in the same step. Each post is written for its network, never one text copied across.
When you tick more than one network, the composer counts against the tightest limit, so the post fits everywhere you send it.
The route PlatPost uses
PlatPost posts to Telegram through the route the network approves for apps. It never uses scraping or a copied browser session, because that can get an account restricted.
