The Announce new SocialBu posts to your Telegram subscribers workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Socialbu, Telegram — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

You schedule social posts in SocialBu, but your Telegram audience only hears about them if you remember to share each one. This workflow posts an announcement to Telegram whenever SocialBu reports a newly published post.

The SocialBu trigger fires when a new post is published by an account you connect. The details SocialBu sends about that post become available to map. The Telegram step then sends a text message, and you decide what it says: a short intro line followed by whichever post details you insert. The action supports markup, so you can format the announcement.

Every published post triggers a run, so your Telegram followers get one message per post. Task History lists each run with the data SocialBu sent and the message that went to Telegram.

Brand channel that mirrors your feeds

A shop runs a Telegram channel for loyal buyers. Each post SocialBu publishes to its social accounts also appears there as a short announcement.

Team chat for the marketing crew

Send the message to a private Telegram group so colleagues see what just went live and can share or reply to it.

Creator updates for subscribers

A creator publishes clips through SocialBu, and subscribers in their Telegram channel get a note with the text of each new post.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Add a Filter after the SocialBu trigger if you only want posts from some accounts announced and the post data identifies the account. Run a test to see which fields arrive.
Add a Delay before the Telegram step if you prefer your Telegram audience to hear about a post a little after it goes live elsewhere.
Publish a test post after import so FlowMattic captures the SocialBu data, then map it in the Telegram message and check how it looks in the chat.

Questions about this workflow

Can the Telegram bot post to a channel?

Yes, when the bot you connect is an admin of that channel with permission to post. Add it to the channel in Telegram first, then pick the chat in the step.

Will scheduled SocialBu posts be announced when they go live?

The trigger fires when a post is published, so a scheduled post is announced once SocialBu publishes it, not when you schedule it.

Does every SocialBu account trigger a Telegram message?

As imported, every published post the trigger reports starts a run. Add a Filter if you want to limit announcements to particular accounts or kinds of post.

Can I send the post image to Telegram as well?

This template sends a text message only. If SocialBu's post data includes a link, which a test run will show, you can map it into the text; for a different kind of message, add another Telegram step after import.
