Telegram10 posts a day, free
Free Telegram scheduler
Write it once, put it in the queue, and it goes out at the hour you picked. 10 posts a day on the free plan, across every network you connect, with no card. The same queue is driveable by your own agent, which is the part most free plans fence off.
What Telegram allows in a post
| Text | 4,096 Unicode code points, 1,024 with media attached |
|---|---|
| Images | up to 10, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp, 10,000,000 bytes each |
| Video | 10 per post, .mp4, 50,000,000 bytes |
| Documents | 1 PDF, no title needed |
| Mentions | @username |
Telegram allows 4,096 characters per post and 10 images, 10 video, a PDF document, from Telegram's own documentation as read on 2026-09-29. Shapeless enforces that table before a draft is queued. The full table is on the Telegram spec page; check a draft yourself with the free Telegram character counter.
Telegram's own free scheduler
The Send button itself, in any chat - a channel included.
- 1
Write the post in the channel as you would to send it now.
- 2
Hold the Send button and select Schedule Message.
- 3
Pick the date and time; the message goes out on its own then.
You run one channel, you write each post in Telegram anyway, and a few a week is the pace.
- One chat at a time, typed by hand: no queue, no slots, nothing that spreads a week of posts for you.
- It lives inside Telegram only, so the same post for your other networks is scheduled somewhere else.
Read from Telegram blog: Scheduled Messages, Reminders, Custom Cloud Themes on . Platforms move menus; the source is the place to check.
Schedule it by hand
Three screens, and they are the only nouns we use. Manual scheduling writes one post yourself and lets any account say it its own way from its preview. Queue drops it into the next free slot for that account, so you never pick an hour twice. Calendar shows the week and lets you drag a post to a different day.
- Connect Telegram once, under Accounts, through Telegram's own sign-in.
- Open Manual scheduling, pick the Telegram account, write the post. The preview beside it is Telegram's own chrome, not a rectangle.
- Press Add to queue for the next free slot, Schedule for an exact time, or Post now. All three are always on screen.
When the queue fires. Each connected account carries its own posting times, in your zone. Add to queue drops the post into the next free slot for that account, so you pick the hours once and never pick an hour again. We do not guess a best time for you.
After it is queued. Calendar shows the week; a post still in the queue can be opened and rewritten, dragged to another day, or cancelled, right up to the moment it goes out. An agent sees the same queue through posts_list and posts_get.
Composing, scheduling and publishing never spend credits. The $5 refilled each month is only for the agents that research, write, design and render.
Schedule it from an agent
The same post, the same queue, three interfaces. Mint a scoped key under Settings → API keys, or add our Telegram MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own host and let it call posts_create. Tools that publish are flagged, so the host asks you first.
Give your agent an API key (Settings → API keys) and the docs, then say what to post. It finds your accounts and the queue on its own.
https://shapelessai.com/docsThe calls, if you want them
curl -X POST https://shapelessai.com/api/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SHAPELESS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"connectionId":"CONNECTION_ID","postText":"This week: onboarding rebuilt. What broke first, and what we changed.","queue":true}'{
"name": "posts_create",
"arguments": {
"connectionId": "CONNECTION_ID",
"text": "This week: onboarding rebuilt. What broke first, and what we changed.",
"queue": true
}
}shapeless posts create --to CONNECTION_ID --text "This week: onboarding rebuilt. What broke first, and what we changed." --queueSwap "queue": true for "scheduledAt": "2026-09-20T09:00:00Z" to pin an exact minute; leave both out and it publishes now.
Over the daily cap the API answers 402 with free_daily_cap, the limit and the reset time, so an agent can wait rather than retry blindly.
Questions
- Is there a free Telegram scheduler?
- Yes, two kinds. Telegram schedules posts itself - the Send button itself, in any chat - a channel included. You run one channel, you write each post in Telegram anyway, and a few a week is the pace. Ours is free too: 10 posts a day across every network you connect, no card, and the same queue is driveable by your own agent.
- How many characters can a Telegram post be?
- 4,096, and 10 images, 10 video, a PDF document, from Telegram's own documentation as we last read it on 2026-09-29. We enforce the same table before a draft is queued, so a post that breaks a rule is fixed rather than rejected at publish time.
- Can an AI agent schedule my Telegram posts?
- Yes, on the free plan. Add https://shapelessai.com/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP host and the posts_create tool schedules through your connected Telegram account, or call POST /api/posts with a scoped key, or run the CLI. Publishing tools are flagged so the host asks you before anything goes out.
- Can I schedule a first comment on Telegram?
- No, and we will not pretend otherwise. firstComment is accepted for LinkedIn, X and Bluesky only; on Telegram the API answers 422 and names the rule. Telegram has no equivalent we can publish reliably.
- What does the free plan cost me later?
- Nothing for the rail. Scheduling and publishing never spend credits. The $5 refilled each month is for the agents that research, write, design and render - a paid plan refills more of it and lifts the daily cap.
10 Telegram posts a day, free, plus $5 of credits every month for the agents that make them.
