| Field | Send as | Required | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|---|

| Channel / chat id | chatId | Required | @channel or numeric id; bot must be admin |
Everything marked secret is sealed with AES-256-GCM before storage — see Connecting accounts.
Publish to Telegram
Once connected, Telegram is just another id in your platforms array. One call publishes:
curl https://postmyish.com/api/v1/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTMYISH_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"caption":"📣 v2 is live — here's everything that's new","platforms":["telegram"]}'The same request can fan out to Discord, X and more — add their ids to the array. See Publish everywhere at once.
