Download Mobile App or use Web

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 two powerful automation modes:

  • πŸ•’ Interval Mode – Send messages at consistent intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes)

  • πŸ“† Fixed Time Mode – Deliver messages at precise hours (e.g., 08:00 AM, 09:00 AM 12:00 PM, etc)

This guide walks you through both scheduling methods in detailβ€”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 longβ€”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 postingβ€”from one group, channel, or chat to anotherβ€”you’d have to do it manually each time. That’s exactly when the Auto Forward Messages bot unleashes its full potentialβ€”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

πŸ˜‰ Imagine this: you prepare a single messageβ€”or multiple messagesβ€”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 manuallyβ€”it all happens while you sleep.


πŸ” Interval Mode – Schedule Telegram Message Posting Repeatedly

What It Does?

Interval Mode allows you to schedule Telegram message posting at fixed time intervalsβ€”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 β€œAuto 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 β€œInterval” mode to begin setting your repeated schedule.

5. Set Posting Frequency

In the β€œPost 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 β€œMessage 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 β€” 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. 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.

8. 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 repeatedlyβ€”rotating as neededβ€”until you turn off or modify the task.

πŸ•°οΈ 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 minutesβ€”with precision down to the secondβ€”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 β€œFixed 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 0 tells the bot to fetch the latest message from the source chat.

  • Tap the Add Schedule to create one or more posting schedules.

3. Add Scheduled Time Slots

Example schedule:

12:53 PM β†’ ID 0 (latest message)

12:54 PM β†’ ID 3

12:55 PM β†’ ID 5

12:58 PM β†’ 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 β€œDone” 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 β€” 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.

  • βœ… 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.


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 automaticallyβ€”even if your phone or computer is offline. All logic is handled on the bot side.
