# Automate your Telegram channel with an AI agent > Connect an agent to posthell, enable Publishing, and it can broadcast to your Telegram channel on its own. Keep an opt-in audience fed on a steady rhythm without sending each message by hand. Canonical: https://www.posthell.com/automate/telegram · Updated 2026-07-06 A Telegram channel is a direct broadcast line to people who chose to hear from you, which makes consistency valuable and a gap noticeable. With an agent connected to posthell and publishing enabled, your agent can turn an update into a Telegram broadcast and send it on its own, so your channel keeps a rhythm your subscribers can count on. Telegram is free to serve, so this is unlimited and never metered. The agent broadcasts text, which is the core of a channel post. ## What you get ### A broadcast rhythm, unattended Put the agent on a heartbeat and it can keep your Telegram channel broadcasting on a steady schedule, so an opt-in audience is not left in long silences. ### The update, ready to send The agent shapes your note into a clean channel broadcast and can send it itself, so you are not copy-pasting into Telegram every time you ship something. ### Unlimited and never metered Telegram is free to serve, so an agent broadcasting to it costs nothing on any plan. Only X is metered. ### Broadcasts to a channel you own The agent posts to the Telegram channel posthell connected, typically one you own. Group and DM posting is not the target here; a channel broadcast is. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can an AI agent broadcast to a Telegram channel automatically?
