Telegram Batch Forwarding

Batch forwarding is a convenient way to receive concise digests from selected Telegram channels for a specified period. This format is ideal for secondary sources: you won't miss interesting materials, but you can read them at your convenience without being distracted by every new message.

How to Create a Batch Forwarding

The number of available forwardings depends on your profile.

Forwarding Setup: Step by Step

1. Current Configuration

In this block you will see:

• How often the digest will be sent (e.g., once a day, once a week, etc.);
• When the next mailing is scheduled.

In this section you can:

• Change the forwarding name;
• Set the sending interval (from 1 hour to 7 days);
• Set the approximate send time (for intervals from 1 day);

What the Final Digest Looks Like

The forwarding post contains concise excerpts from all selected channels for the specified period. Message structure:

• Information is grouped by source;
• The header is the first line or up to 100 characters of text;
• Date and time (can be disabled in settings);
• In parentheses—the type of attachment (e.g., image, video).
