Connect Telegram to WordPress

Telegram is where ideas arrive on the go, and WordPress is where they get published. Connecting them lets you send a link, a PDF or a keyword to a bot and get a blog post back, and tells you or your channel each time something new goes up on your site.

Build your own

Build any Telegram and WordPress automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Telegram and WordPress 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

Only publish when I reply "publish" to the draft; otherwise keep it as a draft.

Include the featured image and a 2 sentence excerpt in Telegram announcements.

Use cases

Setup

Connect Telegram and WordPress 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.

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.

WordPress

CMS

  1. In wp-admin, go to Users and open your profile, or the profile of the user the automation should act as.
  2. Scroll to Application Passwords, type a name such as ClickRuntime, and choose Add New Application Password.
  3. Copy the generated password straight away, along with the WordPress username it belongs to.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save the username and Application Password as a secret on Connections & secrets, together with your site address.
