Telegram Automation, Notifications & Approvals
Run Telegram on autopilot. Keep the veto.
18 actions
A bot sends the wrong message to 800 subscribers before you notice. Rills proposes every Telegram action, you approve before anything goes out.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential communication action from Telegram arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue 3
Send message to 340 subscribers in 3 group chats?

Draft matches approved template from prior send
1 chat has 90-day-inactive members flagged
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Telegram automation
When a bot has permission to send messages and delete them and forward them, the gap between a good workflow and a bad one is one missed condition. Telegram automation without a human checkpoint is where reputations take the hit.
When Telegram runs unsupervised
An automated bot can act across hundreds of chats before you know something went wrong. The operations are powerful enough that a single misfire goes out at scale.
- Send Message fires a broadcast to every subscriber before you catch the typo in the draft.
- Delete Message removes a post from a community chat you meant to keep, with no undo.
- Forward Message pushes internal content into a public group because the filter logic was off.
- Set Bot Commands overwrites the command menu for all users the moment the workflow runs.
- Export Chat Invite Link generates and distributes a join link before you reviewed who it was going to.
What Rills does inside Telegram
Rills sits between the trigger and the action, so operations like Send Message, Edit Message, or Send Poll queue up as proposals rather than firing immediately. You see the exact content, the target chat, and the confidence score before anything posts.
The message still goes out; you just read it first.
Why Telegram has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Telegram's bot operations are all outbound actions, not inbound events, so nothing in this integration fires a workflow on its own. Rills compensates by connecting upstream signals and scheduled checks to the Telegram actions you care about.
- A scheduled poll using Get Updates can check for new replies or membership changes on a set cadence and propose a response action.
- An upstream event in your CRM or form tool can queue a Send Message proposal instead of firing it directly.
- A timed workflow can call Get Chat Members Count on a schedule and propose a Send Poll or Send Document if a threshold is crossed.
- A condition check using Get Chat Administrators can gate any moderation action so it waits for your approval before touching the communication channel.

Common questions about Telegram automation
How do I automate Telegram messages without losing control?
Rills queues every proposed Send Message action for your review before anything goes out. You read the draft, approve or reject it from your phone, and only then does it send. Nothing reaches your chat members without your call.
Can I get mobile approvals before Telegram messages send?
Yes. Every action Rills proposes, whether that is sending a document, forwarding a message, or editing an existing one, lands in your mobile approval queue first. You swipe to approve or kill it from anywhere. The message waits until you decide.
How do I automate Telegram bot commands and keep a human in the loop?
Rills can propose Set Bot Commands updates based on conditions you define. Before any command change ships to your bot, it sits in your queue for approval. You review what will change and confirm it, or you block it. Your bot never updates without your sign-off.
Can Rills send Telegram photos and documents automatically for my business?
Rills can draft and queue Send Photo or Send Document actions triggered by your workflows. Each one waits for your approval before it fires. If the content looks wrong, you reject it on the spot. Nothing ships to your chat until you have seen it.
How do I use Rills to manage Telegram group members and admin tasks?
Rills can pull chat member info, administrator lists, and member counts as part of a workflow, then propose follow-up actions based on what it finds. You review any proposed action, such as exporting an invite link or editing a pinned message, before it goes out.
How is Rills different from Zapier for Telegram automation?
Zapier fires actions automatically the moment a trigger hits. Rills holds every proposed Telegram action in an approval queue until you confirm it from your phone. If you have ever had an automated message go out to the wrong group or at the wrong moment, Rills exists to stop that from happening again.
Does Rills support Telegram bot event triggers or webhooks?
The current Telegram integration is action-focused. Rills can perform operations like Send Message, Edit Message, Forward Message, and Get Updates on a schedule or as steps in a larger workflow. Event-based triggers from Telegram are not supported yet, but action-side automation with human approval is fully available.
How much does Rills cost for Telegram automation?
Approvals and all workflow logic are free. You pay only when Rills takes a real action, like an AI call or an external API operation. Reviewing a proposed Telegram message on your phone and deciding to approve or reject it costs nothing.
