Forward Telegram posts automatically, with filters and edits

Copy new posts from a Telegram channel or group to your own channels and groups as they arrive. Filter them by keyword or media type, and change links, mentions, hashtags and captions on the way.

What it does

  • One source, many destinations

    A rule reads one channel or group your account can see, and copies its new posts to every destination you add, by chat ID or @username. When you first turn a rule on, it also copies the source’s latest posts, up to 25, and a paused rule catches up the same way when you turn it back on. Each copy is a new message from your account, not a Telegram forward, and each post is copied once.

  • Keyword and media filters

    Forward only the posts that mention one of your keywords, skip posts with words you exclude, and choose which of text, photos, videos and documents go through.

  • Mentions, hashtags, header and footer

    Remove @mentions or swap them for your own, find and replace hashtags, add yours at the start, at the end or after the first paragraph, and put a header or a footer on every text post. For photos, videos and documents, turn on caption handling to add your text to the caption.

  • Media captions

    Photos, videos and documents are forwarded with their captions. Keep a caption, remove it, replace it, or add your own text before or after it.

  • Active hours

    Let a rule forward only on certain days and between certain hours in your timezone, overnight windows included. Posts outside the window are skipped and logged.

  • A delay for each destination

    Give a destination a delay in seconds, and a random extra on top, and its copy goes out that much after the post arrives. Several channels then don’t all post in the same second.

  • Hourly limits

    Cap how many posts each destination gets per hour. A post over the cap is skipped for that destination and logged. The account’s own pace applies too.

  • Respects content protection

    Posts from a source that has Telegram’s content protection turned on, and single protected posts, are skipped and logged as filtered, without their text. They aren’t sent or copied to any destination.

  • Test first, then see every result

    Try a rule on a sample message to see the text after every filter and edit. The log shows each post that was forwarded, filtered (with the reason) or failed, and you can retry the ones that failed (a retry sends the post’s text only).

How it works

  1. Pick the source

    Choose a connected account and a channel or group it can read.

  2. Add destinations, filters and edits

    Say where posts go, which ones qualify and what changes on the way.

  3. Turn it on

    Dripl checks the source for new posts and forwards them from the same account.

Where it fits

Setups that use it, step by step.

  • Crypto signal channels

    Copy calls from your source channel into your paid and free groups as they are posted.

  • News distribution

    Publish once in your source channel and send it on to every channel and group that should carry it.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can’t find it? Contact support

Does the source have to be my own channel?

No. It can be any channel or group one of your connected accounts can read, but forward only content you own or have permission to share. The same account sends the copies, so it must be able to post in each destination.

What happens to a channel with content protection?

Its posts aren’t sent or copied to any destination. When a source has Telegram’s content protection turned on, or a single post is protected, Dripl skips the post and logs it as filtered, without its text, so there is nothing to copy from the log or the export. If the chat’s setting can’t be read, nothing is sent: the next check reads those posts again, and a delayed send or a retry fails.

Can I see what a rule does before it goes live?

Yes. Test the rule on a sample message to see the text after every filter and edit.

What if Telegram asks the account to slow down?

A wait of up to a minute is sat out, then the copy is sent. A longer one fails that copy straight away, logged with Telegram’s error, and the wait shows in the account’s health. You can retry it from the log; a retry sends the post’s text only.

What happens if the account has to sign in again?

The rule stops and tells you why, instead of failing on every post. Re-authenticate the account, then turn the rule back on.

Do forwarded posts count toward my message allowance?

Yes. Each copy a rule sends takes one message from your plan’s monthly allowance, the same one your scheduled messages use. When the allowance runs out, your rules pause and pick up again when it resets, when you upgrade or when you buy a message top-up.
