If you’re looking to schedule Telegram message posting automatically, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re managing news updates, crypto alerts, or community broadcasts, this feature can save hours of manual work every week. With the Auto Post Scheduler in the Auto Forward Messages bot, you can publish content using three powerful automation modes:
1. Interval Mode
Repost messages at fixed time intervals (minutes)
Example: Repost every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.
2. Fixed Time Mode
Repost messages at specific times
Example: Post at 10:00 on December 25, 2025
3. Repeat Mode ⭐
Repost messages according to recurring schedules
Supports daily, weekly, monthly, or custom repetition
This guide walks you through both scheduling methods in detail—helping you automate your Telegram workflow with precision and control. Since this is a powerful feature with many flexible options, the article may be a bit long—but it’s well worth it if you want to master this tool like a pro.
Why You Should Schedule Telegram Message Posting?
Telegram currently doesn’t support automatic scheduling for forwarding messages between chats. In other words, if you want to schedule Telegram message posting—from one group, channel, or chat to another—you’d have to do it manually each time. That’s exactly when the Auto Forward Messages bot unleashes its full potential—empowering you to automate what Telegram alone cannot. It lets you:
Automatically deliver selected messages without lifting a finger
Loop important updates on a repeating schedule
Fully control the timing, sequence, and delay between forwards
😉 Imagine this: you prepare a single message—or multiple messages—in advance and send them into your source chat. Then simply set the schedule for exactly midnight. When 00:00 arrives, the bot automatically posts your messages to your channels or groups. You don’t have to stay up or do anything manually—it all happens while you sleep.
🔁 Interval Mode – Schedule Telegram Message Posting Repeatedly
What It Does?
Interval Mode allows you to schedule Telegram message posting at fixed time intervals—such as every few minutes or hours. Once activated, it runs continuously until you manually stop the task.
This is ideal for reposting rotating content, automated reminders, or looping marketing messages without interruption.
How to Set Up Interval Scheduling
1. Open Your Task
Launch the Auto Forward for Telegram app and choose the task you want to automate.
2. Scroll to Auto Post Scheduler
Inside the task settings, tap on “Auto Post Scheduler”.
3. Enable Auto Posting Mode
Switch the toggle ON to activate scheduled message posting.
4. Select Interval Mode
From the dropdown menu, choose “Interval” mode to begin setting your repeated schedule.
5. Set Posting Frequency
In the “Post every” field, enter how often the bot should send a message.
Example: Enter 1 to post every 1 minute, or 5 to post every 5 minutes to your target chats.
6. Enter Message IDs
In the “Message ID(s)” field, specify the message(s) to be posted. You have several options:
Enter a single ID (e.g., 3) to automatically post that message every (X) minutes
Enter multiple message IDs separated by commas (e.g., 1,3,5) to randomly post one of them every (X) minutes — for example, one of those three will be picked and sent to your target chats at each interval.
Enter 0 to automatically fetch and post the latest message from your source chat every (X) minutes.
Tips: To get a message ID, copy its Telegram link and use the number at the end of the URL.
7. Posting Order (Interval Mode Only)
The Posting Order setting controls how messages are selected when you have multiple Message IDs. This feature is only available in Interval Mode.
Random Order
Messages are posted in random sequence
Each posting cycle selects a random message from your Message ID list
Use case: Create variety and unpredictability in your posts
Example: If you have Message IDs
100,200,300, the posting sequence might be: 200 → 100 → 300 → 200 → 100...
Sequential Order
Messages are posted in the exact order you entered them
Cycles through the list from first to last, then repeats
Use case: When message order matters (e.g., storytelling, tutorials, sequential announcements)
Example: If you have Message IDs
100,200,300, the posting sequence will always be: 100 → 200 → 300 → 100 → 200 → 300...
8. Advanced Settings (optional but recommended)
Pause Real-Time Forwarding (Default: ON): When enabled, this setting pauses real-time message forwarding while scheduled posting is active. This prevents message duplication or overlap.
Delay Between Targets: If your task is sending to multiple target chats, you can avoid spam detection by introducing a delay between each message. For example, setting 6 will pause 6 seconds between messages sent to different target chats.
9. Save and Activate
Once everything is set, tap Done to save your configuration. You’ll receive a confirmation, and the schedule will start running immediately.
What to Expect
The Auto Forward Messages bot will now schedule Telegram message posting based on the frequency and message IDs you configured. Messages will be delivered repeatedly—rotating as needed—until you turn off or modify the task.
🕰️ Fixed Time Mode – Schedule Telegram Message Posting at Exact Times
What It Does?
Fixed Time Mode allows you to schedule Telegram message posting at specific hours and minutes—with precision down to the second—on the current day or any future date. This is perfect for broadcasting messages that need to go out on time, such as breaking news, time-sensitive alerts, or coordinated campaign drops.
How to Set Up Fixed-Time Scheduling
1. Switch to Fixed Time Mode
Inside the Auto Post Scheduler, choose “Fixed Time” from the dropdown menu.
2. Set Exact Time and Message ID
For each time slot, define both:
The exact time you want the message to post (e.g., 12:53 PM).
ID
0tells the bot to fetch the latest message from the source chat.Tap the
Add Scheduleto create one or more posting schedules.
3. Add Scheduled Time Slots
Example schedule:
12:53 PM → ID 0 (latest message)
12:54 PM → ID 3
12:55 PM → ID 5
12:58 PM → ID 7 Note:
To edit any existing time slot, simply tap on the time entry you want to modify.
To delete a scheduled time slot, tap the red remove icon at the end of the item.
4. Advanced Settings (Optional but Recommended)
Identical to Interval Mode, but with one additional option.
Resume Real-Time Forwarding After Schedule Ends (Default: ON): Once all fixed-time posts for the day are complete, this setting automatically resumes real-time forwarding. This is especially useful if you want the bot to pause real-time activity during high-priority scheduled posts, and then continue normal forwarding behavior afterward.
5. Save and Activate
After adding all desired time slots and configuring settings, tap “Done” to save the task. Your bot will immediately begin scheduling posts based on your setup.
What to Expect
The Auto Forward Messages bot will now schedule Telegram message posting precisely at the defined times. Each message will go out exactly when planned, making this mode ideal for:
Publishing breaking news at scheduled peak times.
Running coordinated global campaigns across time zones.
Executing strategic content drops during high-engagement windows.
Replacing manual reminders with timed automation
⏰ Important: Timezone Awareness
Scheduled posts will follow the timezone of the Telegram account connected to the Auto Forward Messages bot — not your device’s timezone.
If your connected account is set to GMT+7, for example, all scheduled times will follow GMT+7 exactly.
This means:
⚠️ Even if your phone or PC is in a different time zone, the schedule won’t adjust automatically.
✅ To ensure messages are delivered at the right time, set your Auto Forward account’s time zone to match the target region.
This is especially important for time-sensitive posts sent to international groups. If all your chats share the same time zone, set the account accordingly. If you manage groups across multiple time zones, choose the time zone that best fits your main audience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
FAQs
Q: Can I use both Interval and Fixed Time modes together? No. Each task must use either Interval Mode or Fixed Time Mode, not both at the same time. If you need both, create two separate tasks.
Q: Can I schedule messages from different chats? Yes, as long as your personal Telegram account has access to the source chats. However, since this feature works best for scheduled announcements, we recommend creating a dedicated source chat to organize and manage the messages you plan to schedule.
Additionally, make sure the message IDs you use for scheduling come from the source chats you added to the task. The bot can only auto-post messages if their IDs belong to chats already defined as source chats within that specific task.
Q: Do I need to keep my device online after scheduling? No, you don’t need to keep your device online. Once your schedule is configured, the Auto Forward Messages bot takes care of everything automatically—even if your phone or computer is offline. All logic is handled on the bot side.
Q. How many repeat schedules can I create?
There is no limit on the number of repeat schedules. However, keep it at a reasonable level for easier management.
Q. Do repeat schedules automatically stop?
No, repeat schedules will run continuously until you turn off the Task or delete the schedule.
Q. Can I use multiple Message IDs?
Yes, enter multiple IDs separated by commas. Example: 123,456,789
Q. What if I select day 31 for monthly repeats?
Months without day 31 will be automatically skipped (February, April, June, September, November).
Q. Can I combine multiple modes?
No, each Task can only use 1 mode: Interval, Fixed Time, or Repeat.
Q. How do I know if the schedule is running?
Check the logs or posting history in the Task.
Q. Can I pause repeat schedules?
Yes, turn off the Auto Post Schedule toggle or stop the Task.
Q. How is the timezone calculated?
The system uses the timezone configured in your account settings.
