Connect LinkedIn to Telegram

Ideas for LinkedIn posts often come at odd moments, on a walk or between meetings, and Telegram is right there on your phone. Connecting the two means you can send a thought to a bot, get a polished draft back and approve it for LinkedIn in a tap.

Build your own

Build any LinkedIn and Telegram automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between LinkedIn and Telegram in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.
  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

When I reply "shorter" or "more casual" to a draft in Telegram, rewrite it and send it back before posting.

Only send me a draft on weekdays, and if I have not approved by noon, skip that day.

Use cases

Why people connect LinkedIn and Telegram

How the two apps work together

  • Messages to your Telegram bot reach ClickRuntime through the bot's webhook straight away.
  • The script writes or edits a LinkedIn draft and sends it back to Telegram for approval.
  • On approval, it posts to LinkedIn and replies in Telegram with the post link.
  • Professionals drafting posts on mobile

    A thought sent to a Telegram bot is turned into a LinkedIn post draft. It is posted after a quick approval.

  • Creators approving AI drafts

    AI-written LinkedIn drafts arrive in Telegram each morning. Approving one posts it.

  • Communities mirroring announcements

    Announcements in a Telegram channel are reposted to LinkedIn. Followers on both platforms see them.

  • Teams told when posts go live

    When a company LinkedIn post is published, the team Telegram group gets the link. People can engage early.

More apps

LinkedIn, Telegram and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Log every post

Each time I approve a LinkedIn post in Telegram, add the text, date and link to my Google Sheet.

Research before drafting

When I send a topic to my Telegram bot, research it with Perplexity and send me a LinkedIn draft with one sourced fact.

Ideas from Notion

Each morning, take the next idea from my Notion ideas database, write a LinkedIn draft and send it to me on Telegram to approve.

Setup

Connect LinkedIn and Telegram once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

LinkedIn

Social

  1. Create an app at linkedin.com/developers/apps and link it to a LinkedIn Page.
  2. Under Products, add Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect and Share on LinkedIn.
  3. Set the redirect to https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback and use the scopes openid, profile, email and w_member_social.
  4. Under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard, enter the client ID and client secret and click Connect. Reconnect when the token runs out after 60 days.

Telegram

Messaging

  1. In Telegram, open a chat with @BotFather and send /newbot.
  2. Choose a name and a username for your bot, then copy the token BotFather sends (it looks like 123456:ABC-...).
  3. Open your new bot and press Start, so it is allowed to message you. For groups or channels, add the bot and give it admin rights if it should post or delete.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the bot token.
