Automatic translation of messages between websites, blogs and social networks may be carried out by means of special software. However, such function is frequently realized directly on websites’ servers. Telegram auto-posting is performed with a help of robotized accounts (bots) which are meant for making interaction between a user and the messenger easier, immediately transmitting commands to a server for carrying out one or another operation.    

What is automatic publication of posts from other resources meant for?

Besides, the task complexity increases manifold in case if it is necessary to maintain several accounts from various social networks.   Telegram auto-posting function allows joining channels and groups with external sources. In other words, if you update information in Twitter or VKontakte, it will immediately appear in Telegram as well. What is the use of it?     Firstly, the use of automatic publication contributes to faster community promotion, as its news feed will be constantly updated with new content. Secondly, it takes much less time to publish information. In addition, it is possible to reach larger audience using one publication only.

  • receive the API token (a key) from the @BotFather bot and copy it;
  • go back to a dialogue with the @Manybot bot and paste a key in the message input field.

Easy method for auto-posting realization from VKontakte accounts and groups

There exists one more bot which allows automating publication of posts. Its name is @aPosterBot. Regardless of the fact that it is geared towards translation from VKontakte, it is more than enough for many Russian-speaking users of the given messenger. In addition, it will take you just 5 minutes to set it up. You need to follow these steps:

  2. In order to set up auto-posting, you will be offered to follow a link and carry out instructions.
  3. When following a link, the page with a code (for example, /startL5D69NPu0KJaqybR) will appear. Copy this code.

  • Press the «Save»
  1. The last stage includes making the @aPosterBot bot the channel’s administrator (otherwise, a bot will not be able to send publications there).
    If you want auto-posting to work correctly, you need to make your VKontakte group/page open for all Internet users. The @aPosterBot bot monitors VKontakte groups every 10 minutes and, if some new publication takes place, this bot immediately sends it to Telegram.   Automated translation methods which were mentioned above are some of the easiest and most available for each Telegram user.
