Guide

The complete guide to Telegram channel automation with METRA AI

METRA AI is a platform that automates Telegram channels with AI: it writes posts in your character's voice, generates realistic AI photos and publishes on a schedule while you approve posts in a Telegram bot. This guide takes you from connecting a channel to autoposting, quality content and a CRM for handling leads.

Getting started

Sign up and link Telegram

Register with a Google account or by email with a confirmation code. After signing up, link your Telegram account — this lets the platform sync with Telegram Mini Apps and send posts to your bot for review before publishing. Linking is done via the Start button with a unique number in our bot.

Channels

How to connect a Telegram channel to the AI

In the «Channels» section you connect Telegram channels, pause and delete them. To add a channel, click «Add channel» and make our bot an admin of your channel — as soon as the bot has rights, the channel appears on the platform automatically.

Channel lore

A mandatory field: it tells the AI who it writes about and what voice to take. The more detail you give, the better the AI weaves your story into posts.

Content language

The language posts are published in. A post always comes out in the channel language — even if the example post is in another language, the AI translates during generation.

Copy settings

Transfer data and settings to another channel: pick the target, mark what to copy — everything else moves automatically.

AI settings

Setting up the AI and the channel persona

AI settings define the channel's voice: the persona name, voice style, persona photos for AI generation and the channel signature. The voice style is listed comma-separated — e.g. «aggressive tone, aggressive delivery» — and the AI follows it.

AI persona from photos

Upload more than 5 persona photos to unlock «Generate with persona»: the AI uses your photos as reference while you describe the scene in a prompt. The same person appears across every post.

METRA models

METRA FAST — budget model for short posts; METRA QUALITY — for schema and gambling channels, deep sales copy; METRA NEWS / NEWS+ — for news channels with open-source search. Each model has a creativity slider.

Emoji, formatting, rules

Emoji and formatting (italics, quotes) are toggles — the amount adapts to post length. «Content rules» set bans and requests for the AI, while forbidden words and symbols (e.g. inverted «¿ ¡») are kept out of posts.

Posts

Post modes: simple, advanced, manual

At the top — a manual / automatic approval toggle: on — posts publish immediately, off — they arrive in the bot for review. Then pick a time zone and configure slots by day of week. In any slot you can pin a post, add buttons and a button template, add or remove the signature, and attach media.

Simple mode — uniquify

Makes existing posts look different from each other while preserving meaning. Paste an example post with the formatting you want — the new one keeps the same format. An auto-rule mixes it with the channel lore.

Advanced mode — brief

Deep control: post length, emoji, formatting, model and creativity. Then a detailed brief for the AI — context, topic, goal, audience. An auto-rule blends the brief with the channel lore.

Manual mode

You write the post yourself — the AI doesn't touch it. Any formatting. Only here can you make a media-only post with no text.

Autoposting

Scheduled autoposting in Telegram

A schedule is made of slots: each slot is one scheduled post with its own time. A slot overrides the channel defaults (vertical, archetype, register, length, image style), so one channel mixes content types across the day. A verbatim slot publishes your exact text untouched; an AI slot generates from the example and instructions — combine them: hand-write key offers, let the AI fill warm-up posts.

A natural posting rhythm

Space posts out and don't max the daily cap (up to 15/day). A believable channel posts a few times a day, not 15 in a row.

Turn a feed into a funnel

Per-slot overrides add variety: morning — story / engagement, midday — value / proof, evening — offer / urgency. That's what turns a feed into a sales funnel.

Review before publishing

While tuning the style, keep manual approval on — posts arrive in the bot for review. Switch to automatic once the output is consistently good.

Content quality

Getting channel-grade posts and AI photos

The AI is only as good as what you feed it: garbage in — garbage out. The example post is 80% of the result: give a real post in the style, length and tone you want, and the AI mirrors its structure, rhythm and voice. Set the vertical and channel language, match the register (street / casual / polished) to your audience, and rotate archetypes — story, value, proof, offer, urgency.

Quality posts

Keep instructions short so they don't drown the example. Don't mix languages inside one example or cram everything into a single «offer» archetype — that's what produces generic filler.

Realistic AI photos

The biggest lever is a concrete scene: action + place + light + mood. Two styles cover most needs: UGC / lifestyle (a real phone shot) and a cinematic portrait. Realism is a scene problem, not a model limit.

Smart templates

Magic analysis: upload 4+ posts and the AI builds a template with indents and styles. Or build one manually, setting a content type and hints per line. Unified style and content-strategy scaling.

CRM

A Telegram CRM: handling leads from DMs

The first CRM with Telegram Mini Apps support — access chats from any device. The key advantage is anonymous mode: the operator doesn't see real names or usernames, reducing the risk of your lead base being poached. Connecting a DM account is done by phone number, Telegram code and the two-factor password; after activation all chats sync into the CRM automatically.

Tags, templates, first touch

Every new contact automatically gets a tag and a welcome message. Colour-coded tags shared across accounts, and quick-reply templates with media and text.

Roles and team

Operator and assistant roles with granular permissions: access only to assigned accounts, broadcasts, new-chat statistics, a built-in translator and scheduled messages.

Statistics and broadcasts

New-chat statistics down to the second — per account or across all. Broadcasts, archive, filters by date and tags.

Balance & pricing

Pay only for the tools you use

Billing is pay-as-you-go on a coin balance (1 coin = 1 USDT). A channel subscription is from 10 coins per month, text and photo generations are billed as used, and the CRM is 45 coins per month per DM account. There's a free plan with no top-up so you can try channel automation before paying.
