How to connect Max and set up auto-posting from Telegram
Connect your Max channel to the bot in 5 minutes.
How to set up
Launch @CrosslyBot
Open Telegram, find @CrosslyBot and tap /start. If you already have an account, the bot will offer to create a new project or use an existing one.
Create a project with Telegram source
Tap 'Create project' and add your Telegram channel as the source. Make sure the bot is added as an admin to the channel with message reading permissions.
Connect your Max channel
In the project settings, tap 'Add Max'. The bot will send instructions: create a bot in Max via @metabot, copy the token, and send it to Crosslybot. Then add the created bot as an admin to your Max channel.
Configure settings
Choose content types to transfer and set up AI text processing if needed. Max supports text, photos, videos, and documents.
Test the connection
Publish a test post in your Telegram channel. Within seconds it should appear in your Max channel. Verify that text and media transferred correctly.
FAQ
What is Max?
Max (formerly VK Messenger / ICQ New) is a messenger by VK with support for channels and groups. Crosslybot lets you automatically publish content from Telegram to Max channels.
Do I need to create a separate bot in Max?
Yes, you need to create a bot in Max via @metabot and provide its token to Crosslybot. This is required for secure post publishing.
What content types are supported?
Crosslybot transfers text, photos, videos, and documents to Max. Text formatting is preserved as much as the platform allows.
Can I cross-post from Max to Telegram?
Yes! Crosslybot supports the reverse direction. Use a Max channel as a source in your project, and posts will be automatically published to Telegram.
Max is a rapidly growing platform, and many content creators want to be present there alongside Telegram. With Crosslybot, you don’t need to publish content manually: set up auto-posting once, and every post from your Telegram channel will automatically appear on Max.
The setup takes about 5 minutes. You will need a Telegram channel and a Max channel where you are an admin.
Crosslybot also supports the reverse direction — from Max to Telegram. Learn more in our Max cross-posting guide.
