What Wahlu does on Telegram

Claude works through Wahlu's tools, so it can set the Telegram options Wahlu supports.

Telegram settings on a draft

Post type
Text, or photos and videos.
Link preview
Show or hide the preview of the first link.
Send silently
Members get the message without a sound.

Wahlu doesn't choose forum topics; posts go to a group's general topic. Telegram has no Insights for bots.

The tool calls, in order

  1. 01

    list_targetsFinds the brand's connected Telegram account and checks it's ready.

  2. 02

    import_media_from_url, upload_media or list_mediaBrings in the image or video, or picks one from your media library.

  3. 03

    create_draftCreates the draft with its caption and telegram_settings, such as the post type.

  4. 04

    preflight_draftChecks the draft against Telegram's rules without changing it.

  5. 05

    create_schedulePuts it on the calendar at pending_review, held for your approval.

Telegram limits to know

Wahlu checks these before a post is scheduled, so the agent finds out early.

Getting images and video to Telegram

The hosted connection can't open files on your computer. Give the agent a public link to import, pick from your brand's media library, or attach an image the agent can pass on as data. For video, a public link or your media library is usually easiest.

Connect Claude to Wahlu

Set this up once and Claude can work on every network you've connected, not just Telegram.

  1. 1

    Open Customize → Connectors.

  2. 2

    Click +, then Add custom connector.

  3. 3

    Name it Wahlu and paste https://mcp.wahlu.com/mcp as the remote MCP server URL. Leave Advanced settings empty.

  4. 4

    Click Add, then Connect, and sign in to Wahlu.

  5. 5

    In a chat, turn Wahlu on from the + button under Connectors.

Checked against the Claude Help Center on 24 September 2026. Menus can change; if a step doesn't match what you see, follow the vendor's current instructions.

The same steps work on claude.ai and in Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise plans, an organisation owner first adds the connector in Organization settings → Connectors (Add, then Custom → Web); members then click Connect next to it in Customize → Connectors. Free plans allow one custom connector.

You stay in control.

Every Wahlu plan includes agent access, through MCP and the API. You choose the workspace, brands and permissions each connection gets, and can disconnect it at any time.

Held until you approve

Agents create schedules at pending_review unless you've told them to publish. A held schedule can't publish until you approve it in Wahlu or ask an agent with Publishing permission to approve it.

Publishing is its own permission

Publishing is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.

Checked before it's scheduled

preflight_draft reports anything that would stop a post, such as media the network won't accept or a caption that's too long, without changing anything.

Some things stay in the app

Use the app for queues, draft media and platform settings, and connecting social accounts. Agents can change the name or caption of an unused draft and approve held schedules with the right permissions.
