Build your own

Build any Telegram and X automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Telegram and X 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 forward a Telegram channel post to my bot, rewrite it for X under 280 characters and post it only if I reply "go".

Search X every 15 minutes for posts mentioning my brand name and send me only those with more than 20 likes.

Use cases

Why people connect Telegram and X

How the two apps work together

  • Messages to your Telegram bot arrive instantly through its webhook.
  • The script writes or edits the post and asks for approval in Telegram.
  • On approval, it posts to X and replies with the link. Mention searches on X run every few minutes.

  • Creators drafting posts from their phone

    A message to a Telegram bot becomes an X post after approval. Posting happens from anywhere.

  • News channels mirroring updates

    Posts in a Telegram channel are also posted to X. Followers on both get the update.

  • Shops announcing deals

    A product or sale sent to the bot goes out on X and to a Telegram channel. One message covers both.

  • Teams watching brand mentions

    Posts on X that mention the brand are sent to a Telegram group. The team can respond quickly.

More apps

Telegram, X 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 posts

Each time I approve an X post in Telegram, add it to my Google Sheet with the link and time.

New product announcements

When a new Shopify product is published, post it on X with the image and link and send it to my Telegram channel.

Researched posts on demand

When I send a topic to my Telegram bot, research it with Perplexity and send me an X draft with the source to approve.

Setup

Connect Telegram and X 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.

X

Social

  1. In the X Developer Console, create an app and buy credits.
  2. Under User authentication settings, choose OAuth 2.0 as a Web App (confidential) with the callback https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback.
  3. Use the scopes tweet.read, tweet.write, users.read and offline.access, adding media.write for images.
  4. Enter the client ID and secret under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard. You can use an OAuth 1.0a consumer key and access token for your own account instead.

Does searching X need a paid API tier?
Reading and searching posts needs a paid X API tier. Posting alone works on lower tiers within their limits.
Can I edit a draft from Telegram?
Yes. Reply with your new text and it posts that version.
