# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://agpt.co/docs/integrations/block-integrations/post_to_telegram.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
