TG-Staff Broadcast Configuration Guide: Batch Sending, Scheduled Tasks, and Send Monitoring Full Process

Running an active Telegram community or B2B customer service channel requires message delivery as a core action. When your user base grows from dozens to thousands, manually sending notifications one by one becomes inefficient and error-prone. TG-Staff Broadcast is designed to solve this pain point—it allows you to create batch sending tasks within the web console, precisely reach users by segmentation, and support scheduled sending and send monitoring. This article will guide you through configuring broadcast tasks from scratch, covering preparation, creation steps, scheduling, and effect tracking, ensuring every batch delivery is efficient and controllable.

Why Do You Need Bulk Message Broadcast?

Bulk broadcast is not just “one-click messaging”; it’s a tool for implementing operational strategies. With TG-Staff’s broadcast function, you can automate scenarios like operational outreach, event notifications, and user re-engagement.

Bulk Broadcast vs. Manual Sending: Efficiency and Accuracy Comparison

Comparison DimensionManual One-by-One SendingTG-Staff Bulk Broadcast
Time (sending 1000 messages)Hours (including copy-paste, verification)Minutes (auto-executes after task creation)
Error RateHigh (missed sends, duplicates, formatting issues)Low (preview confirmed before batch send)
SegmentationNone (only full or manual filter)Supports tags, activity, custom filters
SchedulingNone (manual timing needed)Supports one-time/periodic scheduled send
Send RecordsNone (relies on manual logs)Auto-generates task reports (success/failure/reasons)

From the table, bulk broadcast has clear advantages in efficiency, precision, and traceability. For teams that need frequent user outreach, this is a must-have capability.

Example Use Cases: Event Notifications, User Re-engagement, Product Updates

  • New Feature Launch Notification: When the bot adds a new feature, send a rich text message to all active users with an inline button to try it out.
  • Community Event Invitation: For users tagged “event participant,” send a time-limited event invitation, scheduled 1 hour before the event starts.
  • Dormant User Reactivation: Filter users who haven’t interacted with the bot in the last 30 days and send a recall message with discounts or exclusive content.
  • Cross-Border Promotion Push: Segment users by time zone and schedule promotional messages during local daytime hours to avoid late-night disturbances.

Preparation Before Broadcasting: User Segmentation and Message Templates

Before creating a broadcast task, it’s recommended to complete two preparations: User Segmentation and Message Content Preparation.

User Segmentation: In the TG-Staff console’s “User Management,” you can add tags to users (e.g., “New User,” “VIP,” “Event Participant”) or filter using user profile dimensions like active time or language. The finer the segmentation, the better the broadcast effect. For example, send exclusive benefits to “VIP” users and renewal reminders to “Trial” users.

Message Template: Write the message content in advance. Note Telegram’s bot message limits: text up to 4096 characters, supports Markdown or HTML formatting, can include images (max 10MB), files (max 50MB), and inline buttons. It’s advisable to prepare 2–3 versions locally or in notes to avoid last-minute typos.

Creating a Broadcast Task: From Selecting Users to Configuring the Message

Log in to the TG-Staff Console, navigate to the “Broadcast” module, and follow these steps to create a task:

  1. Select Project: If managing multiple bots, first choose the project to send the message from.
  2. Select Target User Segment: Click “Add Filter Condition” and narrow down users by tags, recent activity, subscription status, etc. Supports multiple condition combinations (AND/OR logic).
  3. Compose Message: Supports text, images, inline buttons, and file attachments. Use rich text (bold, italic, links) for readability, and clear button labels (e.g., “View Now,” “Claim Offer”).
  4. Preview and Confirm: The system shows the message rendering in Telegram and the target user count. Always check the preview to avoid broken links or formatting issues.

Filtering by User Segmentation: Tags, Activity, and Custom Conditions

Precise segmentation is key to broadcast effectiveness. TG-Staff supports the following filter dimensions:

  • Tags: Based on user behavior or manual labeling, e.g., “Purchased,” “New User,” “VIP.”
  • Recent Activity: Select “Last 7 Days,” “Last 30 Days,” or “Custom Range” to avoid sending to churned users.
  • Language: Filter by the user’s Telegram interface language, suitable for multilingual communities.
  • Custom Conditions: Filter based on user profile fields (e.g., registration time, last interaction time) with combinations.
  • Mixed Text and Images: Prefer 16:9 or 1:1 images; keep text under 200 characters with key information upfront. Use product screenshots, event posters, or brand visuals.
  • Inline Buttons: Each button text should not exceed 64 characters; use short links (recommend TG-Staff redirect links for click tracking). Typically place 2–3 buttons, e.g., “Learn More,” “Join Now,” “Not Interested.”
  • Variable Usage: TG-Staff supports inserting variables like user nickname ({name}) in messages for personalized outreach. Example: “Hello {name}, this week’s new feature is live!”

Scheduled Sending and Task Scheduling

When creating a broadcast task, you can choose “Send Now” or “Scheduled Send.” Scheduled send supports one-time scheduling (down to the minute) and recurring tasks (e.g., daily/weekly at a fixed time).

Scheduled Sending Notes

Scheduled tasks are executed based on UTC time. It is recommended to manually convert to the target user’s time zone when creating. To ensure precise delivery before a specific event, please test the message preview in advance.

Steps:

  1. On the task creation page, select “Scheduled Send”.
  2. Set the date and time (UTC), or choose a recurring schedule (e.g., “Every Monday 10:00 UTC”).
  3. Click “Create Task”, and the system will automatically add it to the queue.
  4. Before sending, you can view, modify, or cancel the task in the “Broadcast Task List”. Tasks already in the sending queue will not be executed after cancellation.

Send Monitoring and Performance Tracking

After the broadcast task is completed, TG-Staff generates a detailed task report containing the following data:

  • Successful Sends: Number of messages successfully delivered to users on Telegram.
  • Failed Sends: Number and reasons for failures (e.g., user blocked the bot, account deleted, rate limit exceeded).
  • Unsends: Number of messages not sent due to user segment updates or task cancellation.

Performance Tracking: TG-Staff does not provide “read” data (Telegram does not offer this API), but you can evaluate performance in the following ways:

  • Button Click Tracking: Use TG-Staff redirect links or UTM parameters in messages to track conversion by counting link clicks.
  • User Subsequent Behavior: Observe whether users reply to the bot or trigger specific commands (e.g., typing “event”) after sending, to measure engagement.
  • Segment Comparison: Compare user activity changes before and after sending to assess the actual effect of broadcasting on user re-engagement.

Common Issues and Limitations of Batch Broadcasting

Telegram Send Rate Limit

Telegram imposes a rate limit on bot mass messaging (approximately 30 messages/second). TG-Staff has built-in queue processing, but delays may still occur during peak hours. It is recommended to avoid sending messages in bursts at the top of the hour or during flash sales.

Other Common Limitations:

  • User Blocks: Users can block the Bot at any time. Blocked users cannot receive broadcast messages, which is normal.
  • Content Moderation: If messages contain sensitive words or links, they may trigger Telegram’s moderation, causing partial delivery failures. Use compliant content and test before broadcasting.
  • Daily Quota: Free trial and different plans have daily sending quotas. See the console prompt for details.
