Telegram publishing as software
Codex runs postqueen commands, reads the JSON results and verifies each step, so your Telegram pipeline behaves like any other task it automates in CI or cron.
TelegramAutomate Telegram with Codex
Point Codex at the postqueen CLI and it creates, schedules and verifies Telegram messages as one repeatable task you can rerun any time.
Quick start
Set up the CLI inside the workspace Codex uses, then describe the Telegram outcome you want in the task prompt.
Codex session
# Inside a Codex sessionnpm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # Then prompt:# "Create this week's Telegram messages# from notes.md and schedule them# with postqueen"What Codex can run on Telegram
Windows that fit Telegram
Tell Codex when your channels and groups are busiest and it schedules messages into that window on Telegram, day after day, without reminders.
The right channels and groups, every time
Codex lists your connected channels and groups before it posts, so messages land exactly where they should and announcements stay consistent.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Codex for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your subscribers on Telegram until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Telegram
Codex calls postqueen to list your connected channels and groups and sees what Telegram supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Codex
Give it the brief. The agent writes Telegram-shaped messages and proposes publish times that match when your subscribers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Codex can pull the results after.
What Telegram allows
Codex reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Codex connect Telegram to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where Codex runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Telegram messages reliably.
Can Codex schedule Telegram messages at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the messages it creates, keeping your channels and groups active on a steady rhythm.
Will Codex publish to Telegram on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the messages wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Telegram and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Codex can turn the same brief into Telegram messages plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Codex access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
Can AI write my Telegram posts?
Yes. The assistant drafts and rewrites posts and captions in your channel's voice, and you pick the time before it publishes. Agents can also run the whole pipeline through the CLI and the built-in MCP server.
When is the best time to post on Telegram?
When your subscribers are awake and checking their feeds, which depends on where they live. Schedule against your audience's main timezones, compare view counts between slots, and shift the queue toward what performs.
