How broadcasts work
How broadcast ads in Telegram bots work: ordering steps, 0.03 ₽ per message, time slots and what happens after payment.
A broadcast sends your post to users of connected bots as a regular Telegram message — with text, a photo or GIF, and buttons. It's the fastest way to get a big reach by a specific time.
How to place a broadcast
- “My orders” → “Create a new order” → “Ad broadcasts”.
- Broadcast parameters. Choose the mode — “SMART broadcast” (recommended) or “Regular” — and turn on “Click tracking” to see clicks.
- Post. Choose a ready post or create a new one.
- Topics. In regular mode, choose up to 3 bot topics or “Entire audience”. In SMART this step is skipped — topics are matched to the post.
- Audience filters. GEO, star level, Premium, verification, avatar, bio, gifts. The bot immediately shows how many recipients are available.
- Slots. Choose the day — “Today” or “Tomorrow” — and up to two slots, see Slots and sending time.
- Number of messages. Enter a number or tap “Max messages” or “Entire balance”.
- Confirmation. Check the parameters and cost and tap “Confirm order”.
Step by step with the bot's screens — How to order an ad broadcast.
What happens after payment
- The order is created and the amount is reserved on your balance. Status — “Selecting audience”; you can close the screen.
- If the post is new, the order goes to moderation — up to 24 hours.
- After approval the order waits for its slot with the “Scheduled” status.
- In the chosen slot the bots send the post; status — “Running”.
- When it's done, you get an “Order completed” notification with a link to the details.
Pricing
| What | Price |
|---|---|
| Regular broadcast | 0.03 ₽ per message |
| SMART broadcast | 0.04 ₽ per message |
| Each audience filter | +0.01 ₽ per message |
| “Casino” or “18+” mark | +0.01 ₽ per message for each |
Order cost = number of messages × (price per message + surcharges). The bot shows the total before confirmation.
Example
10,000 messages of a regular broadcast with geo and Premium filters: 10,000 × (0.03 + 2 × 0.01) ₽.
Pay only for what is delivered
- The amount is reserved at checkout, and money for messages that couldn't be delivered is returned.
- If there aren't enough matching recipients, you can return the rest or wait for top-up sending — see Shortfall and refunds.
What the user sees
The post arrives in the chat of a bot the person uses, as a regular message: text, media, and buttons. Some bots add a “#Реклама” (ad) label under the ad.
Cancelling
A broadcast can't be cancelled from the order card. If the order hasn't started yet and needs to be stopped, contact Support with the order number. Money for a cancelled order returns to your balance.
