Post to Telegram from Grok Bot
Grok Bot can post to Telegram channels and groups through the Postiz plugin. Add the plugin to a Bot, store your Postiz API key as a secret, and describe the message. The Bot drafts it, attaches media, schedules delivery in Postiz, and can run daily broadcasts from its own cloud computer with almost no configuration.
Please make sure there is always a human in the loop.

Want me to move or cancel any of them?What is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.
Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your Telegram presence with Postiz.
Own Cloud Computer
Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Telegram posts go out even when your laptop is closed.
Routines
Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on Telegram content without being asked twice.
Approvals Built In
Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Telegram posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.
How Postiz Works with Grok Bot
Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your Telegram workflow on its own.
- ✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
- ✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
- ✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
- ✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
- ✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Message Your Bot
Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Grok Bot: Routine saved: telegram-morning.Telegram rules Grok Bot follows
Grok Bot reads the Telegram rules from postiz integrations:settings before scheduling. These are the ones that most often change what gets published.
- ✓Telegram is connected in Postiz through the Postiz Telegram bot. Add the bot to your channel or group as an admin before asking Grok Bot to post.
- ✓Telegram needs almost no settings; only __type telegram applies. The channel or group is chosen by which Postiz integration you connected.
- ✓Media must be uploaded through postiz upload first; the Bot cannot send raw file paths or external URLs.
- ✓Text messages are limited to 4,096 characters and media captions to 1,024. Ask the Bot to split longer updates.
Grok Bot and Telegram: frequently asked questions
How do I post to Telegram from Grok Bot?
Add the Postiz plugin with /add-plugin postiz and store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret. Connect your Telegram channel or group in Postiz, then describe the message. The Bot finds the integration, attaches media if needed, and schedules delivery. You approve before it sends.
Does Grok Bot post to Telegram channels or groups?
Both. Postiz connects through its Telegram bot, which you add as an admin to a channel or a group. Each connection shows up as a separate integration in postiz integrations:list, so you can tell Grok Bot to post to the channel, the group, or both at once.
Can Grok Bot send images and videos to Telegram?
Yes. Point the Bot at a file on its cloud computer and it uploads the file through postiz upload, then attaches it to the message with your caption. Telegram media captions are limited to 1,024 characters, so keep the copy short or send a follow-up text message.
Can Grok Bot run a daily Telegram broadcast?
Yes. Save a routine such as "every day at 7am, post the update from ~/content/daily.md". The Bot runs it from its own cloud computer, schedules through Postiz, and messages you a summary. Approvals keep a human in the loop before each message goes out.
Do I need a Telegram bot token for Grok Bot?
No. The Postiz Telegram bot handles delivery, and you authorize it once when connecting the channel in Postiz. Grok Bot only needs your Postiz API key stored as a Bot secret. It never handles your Telegram credentials directly.
