# Telegram Broadcasts

> Create Telegram Broadcasts in ChatbotX to send a bulk campaign to a selected group of Telegram contacts.

**Telegram Broadcasts** help you prepare one campaign and send it to a selected group of contacts through your Telegram Bot. Use this option when the message is relevant to customers who have connected with your Telegram Bot.

## Before you begin

Connect the Telegram Bot you want to use in ChatbotX and prepare the content for the campaign. The available sending options depend on the channel configuration in your workspace.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Set the schedule and audience

Use **Now** to send the campaign after you confirm it. Use **Schedule for later** when you need to select a date, time, and timezone.

Use **Contact filter** to target the right recipients. You can require contacts to match all conditions or at least one condition. Check the number in **Receivers** before confirming the campaign.

<Note>
  The campaign only reaches contacts that match the selected filter and are available for the Telegram sending configuration you chose.
</Note>

## Example

An event organizer can send a Telegram Broadcast to contacts tagged `Registered`, schedule it before the event starts, and review the recipient count before confirming.

## Check before sending

* Confirm the connected Telegram Bot and campaign content.
* Review the **Receivers** count and the sending time.
* Open the Broadcasts list after sending to review the available delivery metrics.
