# How do I send a Telegram message or broadcast?

Go to **Send Telegram**. The page has three sections plus a live phone preview on the right: Recipients, Message Content, and Buttons & Keyboard.

## Choosing recipients

| Tab | Sends to | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **From Inbox** (default) | One or many contacts who messaged your bot | Replies, follow-ups and broadcasts |
| **Custom Recipient** | One chat ID, or one phone number | A quick one-off send |

For **From Inbox**: set the **From** and **To** dates (today is selected by default), click **Load Recipients**, then search by name, username or chat ID and tick the contacts you want. **Select all shown** covers the visible rows only, and **Load more contacts** keeps your existing selections. The list shows each person once, however many messages they sent.

For **Custom Recipient**: enter either a numeric **Chat ID** (digits only, found in your Inbox or Delivery Report) or a **Phone Number** with country code and no plus sign or spaces. This sends to one person at a time.

## Sending

1. Pick your recipients.
2. Choose the **Message Type** and fill in its fields, or select a saved **Template** to pre-fill them.
3. Optionally tick **Add buttons or keyboard to this message**.
4. Check the **Message Preview**.
5. Click **Send Message**.

When several inbox contacts are selected, each gets the same message, and a confirmation or warning appears at the top of the page.

**Before you send:** your bot must be connected, Telegram UI sending must be enabled on your account, and your subscription must be current.
