Guide: SoftLitePOSTBot

Step-by-step setup and publishing guide.

Quick start

1. Download and unzip the program.
2. Run SoftLitePOSTBot.exe and activate it with your License Key.
3. Enter the control bot’s token (create one through @BotFather).
4. Add one or more worker bots — they publish posts and handle inline buttons.
5. Add your Telegram channels where posts will go (the bot needs admin rights on each channel).
6. Create your first post: text, media, buttons.
7. Check it in preview.
8. Publish it to the channel.

How the Telegram side is structured

The program uses two roles: a control bot (you manage the program through it in Telegram — commands, stats, settings) and one or more worker bots (they actually publish posts and respond to inline button taps). Separating the roles lets you publish under distinct identities without mixing them up with management commands.

The main menu in Telegram

Once set up, the control bot opens a menu with the core actions: create posts with photos/video, create video circles, create text posts, view the guide, manage worker bot tokens, and view statistics.

Building a post: text, media, buttons

A post is assembled from three parts:

• Text — supports HTML formatting and spintax (variable templates — e.g. {Hi|Hello} — so each post in a series comes out slightly different);
• Media — a photo, video, GIF, or a short video circle (converted automatically, capped at 1 minute and 10 MB);
• Buttons — plain links or inline buttons handled by the worker bot.

Batch count and preview

You can prepare a whole series of posts at once in one session — each gets its own ID for later management. Before publishing, you get a preview showing exactly what channel subscribers will see.

Publishing to a channel

Publishing requires the bot to have admin rights on the channel with permission to post messages. The program respects Telegram’s flood control — when publishing a series in bulk, it paces the sends instead of firing them all at once.

Statistics and storage

The program keeps a history of prepared posts (current limit: 500 posts per worker bot, with old records auto-cleared after 2 days). Statistics on publications and delivery results are available.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	What to check
The post doesn’t publish to the channel	The worker bot is added to the channel as an admin with permission to post messages
Buttons don’t respond	Make sure it’s the worker bot (not the control bot) handling taps — check it’s the same bot that published the post
The video circle isn’t created	The source video is under 1 minute and under 10 MB
