Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Telegram integration, composes your message, uploads any media if needed, and sends it to your channel or group.

Claude Code

> Send an announcement to my Telegram
  channel about our new feature launch,
  include the screenshot, schedule for 3pm

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Telegram for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Telegram + Other Platforms

Send a Telegram message and post to social media simultaneously. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> What's scheduled on Telegram this week?

Perplexity Computer: 6 posts on Telegram: the announcement tomorrow
  at 9:00 AM and daily tips Mon-Fri at 10:00 AM.

What can you ask Perplexity Computer to do on Telegram?

You can ask Perplexity Computer for anything Postiz can do on Telegram: draft, schedule, publish, attach media, and set Telegram-specific options. These are prompts people actually type.

You say

> Post today's top 3 industry headlines with links to
  my Telegram channel at 8am

Computer researches the headlines, writes a message under Telegram's 4,096-character limit, and schedules it through Postiz.

You say

> Send the product demo video to the Telegram group
  with a two-sentence caption

Computer uploads the video and keeps the caption under 1,024 characters, the limit for media captions on Telegram.

You say

> Mirror every X post I schedule this week to my
  Telegram channel as well

Computer adds a Telegram post to each request so the same content is queued on both channels with their own settings.

Telegram rules Perplexity Computer has to respect

Telegram enforces a few rules on every post. Postiz exposes them as settings, and Perplexity Computer applies them, but knowing them helps you phrase the request.

✓The Postiz bot must be added to the channel or group as an admin with permission to post messages.
✓Text messages are limited to 4,096 characters; captions on photos and videos are limited to 1,024 characters.
✓Telegram has no extra required settings beyond __type telegram; the channel is fixed when you connect it in Postiz.
✓Media is uploaded through Postiz before it is sent with the message.

Perplexity Computer and Telegram: frequently asked questions

How do I post to a Telegram channel from Perplexity Computer?

Add Postiz as a custom remote connector in Perplexity settings with the MCP URL https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic and OAuth. In Postiz, connect the Telegram channel by adding the Postiz bot as an admin. Then ask Computer to post a message and it schedules it through Postiz for that channel.

Does Perplexity Computer post to Telegram groups as well as channels?

Yes. Postiz connects Telegram through its bot, and the bot can be added as an admin to a channel or a group. Each connected chat appears as its own Postiz channel, so you can tell Computer to post to the announcements channel or the community group and it targets the right one.

Are there length limits Computer must respect on Telegram?

Yes. A text message can be up to 4,096 characters and a caption on a photo or video up to 1,024 characters. Computer keeps drafts inside those limits and, if you paste something longer, it offers to split the content into several messages instead of letting Telegram reject it.

Do I need a Telegram Bot API token or Postiz API key?

No bot token: Postiz runs the bot, and you only add it to your channel as an admin. With the MCP connector, Perplexity signs in to Postiz over OAuth, so no Postiz API key is needed either. Only the CLI skill path uses POSTIZ_API_KEY inside Computer's sandbox.

Can Perplexity Computer send scheduled daily updates to Telegram?

Yes. Use Scheduled Tasks in Computer, which run in Perplexity's cloud on a cadence you confirm, at most once an hour. Ask for a daily 8am digest to your channel and Computer researches, drafts, and schedules the Telegram message through Postiz each day, notifying you when it runs.
