Ever wished you could share new blog posts to a Telegram channel automatically?
If so, then great news! Starting today, you can follow any WordPress.com blog within Telegram by using WordPressDotCom Bot. Now, you can easily get real-time updates from your favorite bloggers in specific channels, group chats, or DMs, right in the app. All with just a few clicks.
Whether you want to follow your favorite blogs or share your own posts, the WordPress.com Bot has you covered.
Start a new channel and invite readers to follow you there. Or automate sharing with an existing channel and add value for your friends and followers. Here are some ideas for inspiration:

There are two ways to set up WordPressDotCom Bot:
- Visit https://t.me/WordPressDotComBot and click on Send Message.
- Or invite the bot to a channel or group by adding a new member and searching for WordPress.com
From there, here are a handful of commands you can use:
- /follow [url] -This will follow the blog specified in the url
- /unfollow [url] -This will unfollow the blog specified in the url. No more notifications of new posts will be sent.
- /following – This will show a list of all blogs followed.
- /reset – This stops following all blogs via the Telegram bot.
