Automatic News Feed

How to connect a Telegram channel so that the posts automatically appear on the website
You can add a feed from any public channel to your website—once a new post is published, the website feed will be updated automatically.
1. Add the "News feed channel" block to the page.
You can find it in the Block Library, "Other" category, block T854.

2. Add the @TildaNewsCrawlerBot bot to the channel. It will be given all the required permissions.
In Telegram channel settings: "Add Admin" in the "Admins" section.
In Telegram: the "Add Admin" pop-up window with the bot search field and "TildaNewsCrawler" in the search results.

What to keep in mind when using this block:

  • If your channel is private, the block will display only the posts published after integration with the bot.
  • No videos can be added to the feed. Only images and text will be published on the website.
  • Images will be displayed as thumbnails in the feed if they've been sent as images, not as files.
  • If you post the picture with a caption as one message in Telegram, it will be displayed as one message in the feed on the website as well.
  • Loading time for old news from the channel to the T854 block may be 1-2 days.
8. Publish the page.
The feed will be updated automatically.
