Overview
The bot gives Telegram channel teams a more controlled publishing workflow, from draft preparation to delivery tracking.
Problem Solved
Manual channel posting can be messy when posts need review, formatting, scheduling, and confirmation. This bot creates a clearer workflow around those steps.

Architecture
- Python bot layer for Telegram interactions.
- SQLite-backed storage for drafts, schedules, and state.
- Publishing workflow built around preview and confirmation.
- Delivery tracking for channel operations.
Technical Decisions
SQLite keeps the deployment lightweight while still giving the bot persistent state for drafts and scheduling.
Challenges
The key challenge is making automation feel safe: users need previews, confirmation, and predictable handling before a post reaches a channel.
Lessons Learned
Automation is strongest when it slows down the risky steps and speeds up the repetitive ones.
