Telegram

Wanhap publishes to Telegram channels and groups through a shared Wanhap bot that you add as an administrator.

Connect a channel

  1. Go to Accounts in the Wanhap dashboard
  2. Click Connect on Telegram
  3. Add the Wanhap bot (shown in the connect dialog) as an administrator of your channel or group
  4. Copy the /connect <code> command shown in the dialog and post it in that channel
  5. Wanhap links the channel automatically — the dialog closes once it’s connected
The bot must be an administrator of the channel. Telegram only delivers channel posts (including the /connect command and reactions) to bots that are admins, and the bot needs admin rights to publish.
You can connect as many channels and groups as you like — each one becomes its own account.

Supported content types

Telegram allows up to 4096 characters of text. Media captions are capped at 1024, so a longer post is sent as the media followed by a separate text message. Formatting (bold, italic, links, code) and plain @username mentions are preserved — Telegram auto-links public usernames.

Analytics

Telegram’s Bot API exposes no post view counts. Wanhap surfaces what is available:
  • Subscribers — the channel’s member count (shown account-wide and on each post)
  • Reactions — per-post reaction counts (👍 ❤️ 🔥 …), pushed in real time by Telegram
