Short answer

Can I post to social media from Telegram?

Yes, through an AI agent that answers as your own Telegram bot.

Antwork has no Telegram bot of its own. You make one with @BotFather, and an AI agent you run, OpenClaw or Hermes Agent, answers through it. Connect that agent to Antwork's MCP server once, and from then on a Telegram message is enough to draft, schedule or publish to any of the 9 networks Antwork supports, with each post written for its own account.

  • You chat, the agent postsYour agent reads your recent posts, writes the draft and sends it through Antwork.
  • Every network, one connectorInstagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest and Bluesky.
  • Nothing goes out unaskedDrafts stay drafts. Scheduling or publishing is a separate step you ask for.
First, the bot

Make your Telegram bot

Both agents start here. It takes a minute, in Telegram itself.

  1. 1Open @BotFatherIn Telegram, message @BotFather and send /newbot.
  2. 2Name itPick a display name and a username that ends in "bot", like nighthawk_posts_bot.
  3. 3Keep the tokenBotFather replies with a token. Your agent needs it, and anyone who has it controls the bot, so keep it private.

Telegram bots are an official Telegram feature, made with its own @BotFather. Unlike the WhatsApp setups, nothing links to your personal account as a second device.

The agents

Two agents that answer as your bot

Both are open source and run on your own computer or server. Each only answers the people you allow.

  • OpenClawAn open-source agent you run yourself. Its gateway takes Telegram DMs and groups, and the agent behind it reaches Antwork.
    1. 1Run the command below on the machine OpenClaw runs on and approve Antwork in the browser.
    2. 2Run openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token followed by your bot token, then openclaw gateway.
    3. 3Message your bot, then run openclaw pairing approve telegram with the code from openclaw pairing list telegram. Codes last an hour.

  • Hermes AgentNous Research's open-source agent. Its messaging gateway answers in Telegram with the same tools as the terminal.
    1. 1Run the command below and approve Antwork in the browser. The gateway never opens one, so do this in a terminal first.
    2. 2Run hermes gateway setup and choose Telegram, or put TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and your numeric user ID in TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS in ~/.hermes/.env.
    3. 3Start hermes gateway and message your bot. Without an allowed user, it answers no one.

What to send

Things to text your bot

Plain messages. Your agent picks the Antwork tools.

  • “Announce the new menu on Instagram, LinkedIn and X, each in my usual voice. Drafts only.”
  • “Schedule the LinkedIn one for Tuesday at 9am.”
  • “What is going out this week?”
  • “Which of my posts did best last month, and why?”
  • “The X post failed. Try it again.”
  • “Turn this blog post into a LinkedIn post and a thread for X.”
Questions

Posting from Telegram, answered

Is there an Antwork Telegram bot I can message?
No. You make your own bot with @BotFather and your agent answers through it. That keeps the writing with the AI you run and the publishing with Antwork.
Can other people message my bot and post to my accounts?
Not unless you let them. OpenClaw makes every new person pair first, and you approve the code. Hermes Agent only answers the user IDs in TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS and denies everyone else.
Which networks can I post to from Telegram?
All 9 that Antwork supports: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest and Bluesky.
How do photos and videos get onto the post?
Every draft comes back with a link to it in Antwork, including one that opens the media picker. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest need an image or video before they can publish.
Will it post anything without asking me?
Drafting never publishes. Antwork's tools save drafts as drafts, and scheduling or publishing is a separate, explicit step you ask for. TikTok also asks for its privacy and interaction settings on every post.
What does it cost?
Antwork is free for 2 social accounts, with no card. OpenClaw and Hermes Agent are open source; you run them on your own machine.
