Five minutes from Start to live forwarding. TeleFeed shows a list of every chat I'm already in: pick source, pick destination, done. No googling 'how to get the Telegram chat ID', no API hunting. Three mirror channels off my main feed in two months. Pain-free.
Forward Telegram messages, your way.
TeleFeed is the Telegram forwarding bot for cloning, mirroring, filtering, and backing up any chat your account can access. In production since 2019, it works across channels, groups, DMs, and bots, applying filters, translations, and transformations on the fly, even where forwarding is restricted.

Who uses TeleFeed?
TeleFeed users include solo traders, channel admins, community managers, newsroom editors, and analysts. Some are mirroring a single VIP channel; others run 40+ wire feeds through one inbox or archive locked content their account already has access to.
Live in 5 minutes.
2 years archived in one afternoon.
Two years of locked content archived in one afternoon. Three sources had “Restrict Saving Content” on, the full lockdown. TeleFeed clones them into my archive and redirection keeps new posts flowing. Reads via my view access, so the saving restriction doesn't apply on my side.
0 missed calls in 8 months.
I was missing 6–7 calls a day across three free bots when the source pushed 400+ alerts an hour. TeleFeed paces the queue, stays under Telegram's rate-limit caps, and hasn't dropped a message in eight months. Fed days included.
17 noisy feeds, one digest.
I chain filter → whitelist → delay → forward across 17 noisy trading channels. Build the rule once and forget it. Instead of doom-scrolling at 6am I get one clean morning briefing: only the 2–3 keywords per channel I actually trade on.
1 hr/day of rebranding, gone.
I run an Amazon deals reseller channel. TeleFeed pulls product posts from a public deals aggregator, swaps the source's affiliate link for mine with one regex rule, and watermarks my logo onto the product image before it lands. Every repost arrives on-brand, affiliate revenue routes through my tag, and I never open Photoshop again.
40 min/week of cleanup, gone.
I mirror a captcha-gated paid VIP source into my own sub-channels. TeleFeed reads via my view access, with no bot needed in the source admin's panel. Posts land without the "Forwarded from" tag because TeleFeed reposts through my account, not Telegram's native forward. It strips the weekly-changing promo footer with one regex rule and adds a 90-second delay so timing isn't traceable. 40 min/week of cleanup, gone.
42 wires, one editor inbox.
Aggregating 42 wire channels into one newsroom inbox used to be a Python script that broke every other week. TeleFeed runs whitelist + translation + dedup mid-pipeline, so editors only see English headlines matching their beats. A year in, hasn't broken once.
1 source, 4 regional languages.
We auto-forward one Portuguese source into ES, EN, DE, and FR regional channels. Translation runs inline per destination so editors don't pay the translation cost. Each region's mod just edits headlines instead of translating from scratch. Four full-time translators → one part-time editor.
What can one bot
actually do?
TeleFeed does more than copy messages. Nine composable commands run on every setup: live mirror, history backfill, rewrite, filter, clean, translate, click captcha, schedule, delay. Chain any combination: one rule can mirror live, drop ads, translate, and add a 60-second buffer. Read access on the source is enough; admin rights are never required.
Redirection
Mirror any Telegram channel in real time. New posts land instantly; history before setup is left alone, so the same rule never re-forwards old messages. Edits and deletes propagate, replies follow, formatting stays exactly as the source, and posting order stays intact.
Clone
Backfill a Telegram source's history into your destination. Clone pulls every old message in chronological order and applies your active rules (transformation, filtering, translation) to each one as it goes. Run it standalone by chat ID or layer it on top of an existing redirection setup; text and media both supported. Read access on the source is enough.
Filtering
Decide what reaches the destination. Whitelist forwards only messages with your keywords (plain or regex), blacklist drops them. Filter whole types in either direction: skip photos and stickers, or allow only videos and drop everything else. Narrow further by user ID, or by user type: admins only, bots only, regulars only.
Transformation
Rewrite every Telegram message before it lands. Prepend or append using variables (sender, timestamp, original body), find-and-replace with optional regex, or remove lines by keyword. Brand each post with your channel name, or reformat into a house template.
Cleaner
Strip what you don't want and forward the rest. Cleaner removes captions, links, hashtags, emojis, signatures, and promotional footers outright; Transformation only acts on keywords you specify.
Translation
Auto-translate any Telegram channel into the language you want. Translation auto-detects the source and uses Google Translate's 90+ languages. Configured per setup, so one channel translates while another keeps its original language.
Action
Click inline buttons automatically before forwarding. Action taps "I'm not a bot" captchas, runs multi-step button sequences, and responds to bot buttons that reveal hidden content.
Scheduler
Run a Telegram setup only during the hours you want. Scheduler takes cron syntax (weekday market hours, weekends muted, overnight paused) per setup. Messages outside the window are not queued.
Delay
Forward to one Telegram destination live and another on a fixed delay, set per destination. Any minute or hour offset, applied to text, photos, and videos alike. Common pattern: live VIP plus a delayed free tier, or a moderation buffer.
Why TeleFeed?
Plenty of Telegram forwarding bots exist. TeleFeed has run since 2019 with 99.98% uptime across redundant servers, sustains 10M+ messages a day, and keeps forwarding rules alive through Telegram rate limits, FloodWait errors, and overnight maintenance.
Uptime you can verify, not just claim.
Our data shows 99.98% uptime by running RabbitMQ, Redis, and the forwarding API across redundant servers with active-passive failover. A crashed worker, restarted node, or expired Telethon session triggers automatic recovery in seconds, so disconnections and silent overnight downtime that take self-hosted Telegram bots and userbot scripts offline never reach your forwarding rules.
Holds steady when Telegram throttles.
We measured up to 1,000 messages per minute per connected account, enough to mirror the busiest crypto signal channels, trading rooms, and news feeds without queueing or dropped messages. That throughput holds against Telegram's rate limits, FloodWait errors, and the API throttling that breaks most forwarding bots and userbot scripts.
Per-account limits depend on the account's standing with Telegram and may flex up or down.
Battle-tested through every Telegram API change.
We tracked Telegram API changes for seven years: TeleFeed is one of the longest-running forwarding services still in active development. It has solved every hassle that breaks message forwarding and automation: rate limits, API breaking changes, and content restrictions like “Restrict Saving Content” channels.
How do teams forward Telegram messages?
TeleFeed runs six common Telegram forwarding patterns: trading desks broadcast signals, newsrooms aggregate 12 wires into one desk, admins tap past captcha gates on protected channels, analysts archive restricted-content channels, ops teams route bot alerts and DMs, and multilingual teams auto-translate foreign feeds.
Trading signals
One source of alpha (crypto calls, forex signals, sports betting tips, options alerts) runs two channels: a live VIP for paying subscribers, a free tier an hour behind that funnels them in. The same call hits both, branded to your channel with the original poster's promo links left out. Build the funnel once, run it forever.
News
Build a custom newswire from public Telegram sources. A dozen wires in (Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ, regional bureaus), one desk out, only macro and finance stories making the cut and ad tags scrubbed at the door. Every editor reads the same curated feed.
Protected chats
Verification-gated Telegram channels (insider drops, subscription tiers) hide every post behind a "click to view" button. TeleFeed taps it for you on each message in the background, so unlocked content lands in your destination automatically. You stop tapping; the feed keeps coming.
Restricted content
Whatever lock the source has on (“Restrict Saving Content”, no-forward, premium-only, owner-disabled), TeleFeed mirrors new posts to your archive and rebuilds the back catalog in original order. Read access on the source is enough. Everything you could read, you can save.
Bots & DMs
DMs, bot replies, alert streams: anything that lands in your account can land in a channel you control. Trading bots feeding your VIP, monitoring bots feeding ops, customer DMs feeding a team archive. The sender never knows.
Multilingual
Foreign-language Telegram feeds (Portuguese, Spanish, German, Japanese, any of 90+ languages) pipe into one English destination. Each post translates on the fly, prefixed with its country code so editors see provenance at a glance. One channel, every market.

Frequently asked questions
How reliable is TeleFeed?+
TeleFeed maintains 99.98% uptime by running RabbitMQ, Redis, and the forwarding API across redundant servers with active-passive failover. A crashed worker, restarted node, or expired Telethon session triggers automatic recovery in seconds, keeping every forwarding rule alive through Telegram rate limits, FloodWait errors, and overnight maintenance windows.
Will TeleFeed get my Telegram account banned?+
TeleFeed has run since 2019 with no pattern of bans on accounts using it. The service runs on Telegram's MTProto API through the Telethon client library and respects FloodWait limits Telegram exposes, so request rates stay inside the bounds Telegram tolerates for legitimate client automation. Account sessions stay encrypted on the server and are never shared with third parties.
Does TeleFeed need admin permissions in the source or destination?+
No admin role is required anywhere. In the source chat (channel, group, DM, or bot), viewing access is enough. If your account can see the messages, TeleFeed can read them. In the destination, your account just needs write access so TeleFeed can post the forwarded messages.
What's the difference between TeleFeed and a Telegram bot?+
Telegram bots run on the Bot API and need to be added to chats, typically as admins, to read or post messages. TeleFeed runs on your existing Telegram account through the MTProto API, so it forwards from any channel, group, DM, or bot conversation your account already sees, without admin roles in the source or destination.
Can I safely forward from VIP or paid channels?+
Yes. TeleFeed anonymizes forwarded posts so the source can't trace them. Messages arrive without the "Forwarded from" tag because TeleFeed reposts through your account instead of using Telegram's native forward, and no bot is added to the source admin's panel. Cleaner strips caller handles, footers, and watermarks, and scheduled delay breaks the timing pattern that would otherwise let the source admin spot a mirror.
How do I back up or export a Telegram chat?+
TeleFeed handles this in two modes. Run the Clone command to mirror any chat your account can access (channel, group, DM, or bot conversation) into a destination you own, including historical/old messages reposted in order. Then set up live forwarding on the same source–destination pair so new messages flow to the destination as they arrive. View access in the source is enough; no admin permissions needed. If your account can see a message, TeleFeed can save it.
Do I need to know a chat's ID to set up forwarding?+
No. When you connect your account, TeleFeed automatically lists every Telegram chat you're already in (channels, groups, DMs, even bot conversations) and you pick source and destination from the list. No manual chat-ID retrieval, no Bot API queries, no third-party lookup tools.
