# Ayrshare Post To Telegram

Blocks for posting messages to Telegram channels using the Ayrshare social media management API.

## Post To Telegram

### What it is

Post to Telegram using Ayrshare

### How it works

This block uses Ayrshare's API to publish messages to Telegram channels. It supports text messages, images, videos, and animated GIFs, with automatic link preview generation unless media is included.

The block authenticates through Ayrshare and sends content to your connected Telegram channel or bot. User mentions are supported via @handle syntax, and content can be scheduled for future delivery.
