Telegram

Posts to a channel through a bot you create yourself — no login, no approval, no cost.

What Duta sends today

Duta posts text, a single photo or video, or an album of several images to a Telegram channel you administer.

There is no login screen. You make a bot with Telegram's own @BotFather, add it to your channel as an administrator, and paste its token into Duta.

The real limits

Read from the same adapter Duta's compose screen checks a post against — not typed out separately, so this cannot say something the product does not actually enforce.

Text and media limits for Telegram
TextUp to 4,096 characters 1,024 once a photo or video is attached
Media requiredNo
PhotosUp to 10 per post, 5 MB each
VideoUp to 20 MB

Worth knowing

  • A message on its own can run much longer than a caption on a photo or video — attach a picture to a long message and Telegram cuts the allowance to a quarter of it, so Duta warns before that happens.
  • A video with no audio track plays silently and loops like a GIF rather than an ordinary video — that is Telegram's own definition of an animation, not a sign the upload went wrong.
  • An album's caption sits on the first photo only, which is exactly how Telegram displays it.

Connecting Telegram

Telegram does not use a login screen. You make a bot, put it in your channel as an admin, and paste its token here. It takes about two minutes and costs nothing.

  1. 1Open https://t.me/BotFather in Telegram and send the message /newbot
  2. 2Give the bot a name and a username when BotFather asks. The username must end in "bot"
  3. 3BotFather replies with a token that looks like 8123456789:AAH... — copy the whole line
  4. 4Open your Telegram channel, go to Manage channel, then Administrators, then Add admin
  5. 5Search for the bot by the username you chose, add it, and leave "Post messages" switched on
  6. 6Come back here, paste the token, and put your channel below it
