Build the automation logic with proper batching, error handling, and delivery confirmation.
import TelegramBot from 'node-telegram-bot-api';
import fs from 'fs';
const bot = new TelegramBot(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);
class MediaCampaign {
constructor(name, mediaList, audienceList) {
this.name = name;
this.mediaList = mediaList;
this.audienceList = audienceList;
this.batchSize = 50;
this.delayMs = 1000;
}
async sendMediaBatch(batch, mediaItem) {
const promises = batch.map(async (chatId) => {
try {
if (mediaItem.type === 'photo') {
return await bot.sendPhoto(chatId, mediaItem.path, {
caption: mediaItem.caption
});
} else if (mediaItem.type === 'video') {
return await bot.sendVideo(chatId, mediaItem.path, {
caption: mediaItem.caption
});
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Failed to send to ${chatId}:`, error);
return null;
}
});
return Promise.allSettled(promises);
}
async executeCampaign() {
for (const mediaItem of this.mediaList) {
const batches = this.chunkArray(this.audienceList, this.batchSize);
for (const batch of batches) {
await this.sendMediaBatch(batch, mediaItem);
await this.delay(this.delayMs);
}
}
}
}Monitoring & Analytics Integration
Implement tracking for delivery rates, engagement metrics, and campaign performance.
class CampaignAnalytics {
constructor(campaignId) {
this.campaignId = campaignId;
this.metrics = {
sent: 0,
delivered: 0,
failed: 0,
viewed: 0,
clicked: 0
};
}
trackDelivery(status, chatId) {
this.metrics.sent++;
if (status === 'success') {
this.metrics.delivered++;
} else {
this.metrics.failed++;
}
// Log to database
this.saveMetric('delivery', { status, chatId, timestamp: Date.now() });
}
generateReport() {
const deliveryRate = (this.metrics.delivered / this.metrics.sent) * 100;
const failureRate = (this.metrics.failed / this.metrics.sent) * 100;
return {
campaignId: this.campaignId,
deliveryRate: deliveryRate.toFixed(2) + '%',
failureRate: failureRate.toFixed(2) + '%',
totalSent: this.metrics.sent,
...this.metrics
};
}
}Media Optimization for Campaigns
Optimization Checklist
📸 Images
- • 1280x1280px for square posts
- • JPEG/WebP format, <10MB
- • 85-90% quality compression
- • Consistent branding/watermarks
🎥 Videos
- • MP4 H.264, <50MB
- • 720p-1080p resolution
- • 1-3 minute optimal length
- • Custom thumbnail creation
Compression Scripts
# Image optimization with ImageMagick magick input.jpg -resize 1280x1280> -quality 85 output.jpg # Video compression with FFmpeg ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4 # Batch processing for file in *.jpg; do magick "$file" -resize 1280x1280> -quality 85 "optimized_$file" done
Quality Testing
- Test on multiple devices (mobile, desktop)
- Verify loading speed across networks
- Check caption readability
- Validate file size limits
Campaign Timing Strategies
Optimal Send Times
Frequency Planning
A/B Testing
Smart Scheduling Implementation
class SmartScheduler {
constructor() {
this.timezones = {
'US_EAST': -5,
'US_WEST': -8,
'EU_CENTRAL': +1,
'ASIA_PACIFIC': +8
};
this.optimalHours = [9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21]; // 24h format
}
calculateOptimalTime(timezone, targetHour) {
const now = new Date();
const targetTime = new Date(now);
targetTime.setHours(targetHour, 0, 0, 0);
// Adjust for timezone
const offset = this.timezones[timezone] * 60 * 60 * 1000;
return new Date(targetTime.getTime() - offset);
}
scheduleMediaCampaign(campaign, audiences) {
const schedules = [];
for (const audience of audiences) {
for (const hour of this.optimalHours) {
const sendTime = this.calculateOptimalTime(audience.timezone, hour);
schedules.push({
campaignId: campaign.id,
audienceSegment: audience.segment,
scheduledTime: sendTime,
mediaItems: campaign.mediaItems
});
}
}
return schedules;
}
}Analytics & Performance Tracking
Key Metrics to Track
Analytics Implementation
class CampaignTracker {
async trackMediaSend(messageId, chatId, mediaType) {
const event = {
eventType: 'media_sent',
messageId,
chatId,
mediaType,
timestamp: Date.now(),
campaignId: this.campaignId
};
await this.logEvent(event);
}
async trackEngagement(messageId, action) {
// Track: view, click, forward, reply
const event = {
eventType: 'engagement',
messageId,
action,
timestamp: Date.now()
};
await this.logEvent(event);
}
generateCampaignReport() {
return {
totalSent: this.events.filter(e => e.eventType === 'media_sent').length,
deliveryRate: this.calculateDeliveryRate(),
engagementRate: this.calculateEngagementRate(),
topPerformingMedia: this.getTopMedia(),
audienceInsights: this.getAudienceInsights()
};
}

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best format for Telegram campaign media?▼
For images: JPEG/WebP under 10MB, 1280x1280 optimal. Videos: MP4 H.264, max 50MB, 1-2 minute duration. Documents: PDF, DOCX under 50MB with descriptive filenames.
How many media files can I send in a campaign?▼
Telegram allows up to 20 messages per second for bots. For campaigns, batch 50-100 recipients with 1-2 second delays between batches to avoid rate limiting.
Can I track media campaign performance?▼
Yes. Track delivery confirmations, view counts (for channels), click-through rates on inline buttons, and user engagement metrics through bot analytics.
How do I handle different screen sizes in campaigns?▼
Use responsive media: 1280x720 for landscape, 720x1280 for portrait. Test on mobile/desktop. Include text alternatives and ensure readability at all sizes.
What's the difference between album and single media sends?▼
Albums group 2-10 media items in one message, perfect for product galleries. Single sends allow individual captions and better tracking per item.
