RSS Bot: Autopost Feeds to Telegram

Run a news channel and copy headlines from the same sites by hand every day? RSS Bot does that for you: connect a feed, and new entries appear in your channel or group on their own. 📰

The bot is free. According to its authors, it handles autoposting from RSS and Atom feeds, custom message formats and integration with an automation service.

What RSS is and why it matters

RSS is a feed format in which a site publishes a list of its new items. Nearly every news site, blog and podcast has one, although pages sometimes hide it.

The bot reads the feed, notices new entries and sends them to the chat. You do not have to visit the site and check for updates.

What the bot offers

• Autoposting. An RSS or Atom feed goes into your channel or group without your involvement.
• Message formats. You can set what a post looks like: title, description, link.
• Markup. Markdown and HTML are supported for text emphasis.
• Hashtags. They are added to posts automatically.
• Automation integration. The bot can connect to a service that links apps together.

Interface languages

The description says the bot is translated into several languages: English, German, Hindi, Hebrew, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Persian. Pick the one you like and work in it. 🌐

Getting started

1. Start the bot with /start.
2. Add the bot to your channel or group and give it permission to post.
3. Connect a feed by entering the RSS or Atom address.
4. Set the format of messages and hashtags.
5. Check the first post and adjust the look.

Keeping the channel from turning into a dump

Autoposting is easy to overload. Connect ten busy feeds and subscribers get a flood of notifications and leave. 🔕

• Choose feeds that fit the channel topic rather than everything.
• Watch the posting frequency and drop noisy sources.
• Add your own comment to at least the best items.
• Credit the source and respect copyright: copying a full article from someone else is not allowed.

Formatting: what to look at

The message format decides whether a post gets read. A long title, a truncated description and five links in a row look sloppy. 🧩

Keep the title, one line of description and a source link. Add only useful hashtags: subscribers search by them later.

Try it on a test channel first, so you see how the markup looks across devices.

When it helps

Admins of topic channels, owners of company news pages and teams who want site or blog updates in a work chat. A personal set of favorite blogs in one place works well too. ✅

If you need a full editor with scheduling and analytics, look at other tools. The strengths here are simplicity and automation. The bot has a support group and an updates channel for questions. 💬
