What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the tedious process of manually sharing content from RSS feeds to Telegram channels. Many businesses and content creators waste valuable time copying links, shortening them, and posting updates individually. This workflow eliminates that manual work by automatically detecting new RSS items, processing them through dlvr.it's professional link shortening service, and posting clean, trackable links directly to your Telegram channel.
The solution is particularly valuable for marketers, publishers, and community managers who maintain active Telegram channels. It ensures timely content sharing while maintaining professional presentation with shortened URLs. Unlike generic social media automation tools, this workflow provides precise control over message formatting and link handling specific to Telegram's requirements.
How It Works
1. RSS Feed Monitoring
The workflow continuously monitors your specified RSS feed for new items. Make.com checks the feed at intervals you configure (typically every 15-60 minutes) to detect fresh content without overwhelming your systems.
2. Link Processing with dlvr.it
When a new item appears, the system extracts the URL and sends it to dlvr.it's API for shortening. This professional shortening service provides cleaner links than generic URL shorteners and includes click tracking capabilities.
3. Telegram Message Composition
The workflow formats a Telegram message using your preferred template, which can include the item title, description (optional), and the newly shortened link. You maintain full control over message formatting to match your channel's style.
4. Automated Posting
Finally, the composed message is sent to your designated Telegram channel via the Telegram Bot API. The entire process happens within seconds of detecting new RSS content, ensuring your audience receives updates promptly.
Pro tip: Configure message templates with relevant hashtags and emojis to increase engagement. For example, prefix blog posts with 📚 and news items with 🗞️ to help followers quickly identify content types.
