It opens @catalogue_app, where this works for free with no sign-up: Posts with link buttons, scheduled publishing and autoposting of new items from RSS, YouTube and other public channels — in @catalogue_app, free and with no sign-up.

What's inside

  • A post with text, photo or video and link buttons under it — a preview before publishing.
  • Scheduled publishing — “18:30”, “tomorrow 10:00”, “05.11 14:00”, in your time zone.
  • Autoposting — new items from an RSS feed, a YouTube channel or a public Telegram channel go to your channel as title + link.
  • Up to five channels per person, switch the target channel with one button.
  • A BotFather-style mini app — channels, scheduled posts, autopost sources.
  • Free, no sign-up and no BotFather.

How posting through @catalogue_app works

A channel is linked with one button: Telegram shows your channels, you pick one, and @catalogue_app becomes its admin with the right to post and edit messages. The bot asks for no other rights.

A post is put together in the bot chat: you send text, a photo or a video, the bot shows how the post will look in the channel and offers three buttons — add link buttons, schedule or publish. Publishing sends a copy of your message, with no “forwarded” mark.

Link buttons under a post

Buttons are added as lines like “Button text - https://link”, one per line, up to eight under a post. This is how people attach a link to a site, a bot, a donation page or a stream recording. Buttons can be cleared with one tap before publishing.

Scheduled posts

Time is written the way people say it: “18:30” is today, or tomorrow if that time has passed; “tomorrow 10:00”; “05.11 14:00”. The time zone is chosen in the mini app. The queue is checked every minute, and a scheduled post can be cancelled under “Scheduled”.

Autoposting from RSS, YouTube and other channels

A source is added with a link: an RSS or Atom URL, a site page (the bot finds its feed), a YouTube channel link or handle, or a public Telegram channel like @name. Every 10 minutes the bot checks the source and posts new items to your channel as title + link — Telegram renders the preview itself.

Old items are not posted when you connect a source: the first pass only remembers what is already out. At most three items go out per pass so the channel isn't flooded. If a source stops answering for a long time, the bot tells you.

A BotFather-style mini app

In the @catalogue_app mini app, in the profile behind the avatar, there is a “Tools” section: linked channels, scheduled posts, autopost sources, plus a captcha with group moderation and a secretary that reminds you of promises from your chats.
