Checklists, Suggested Posts and More Monetization Options for Channels

Today's update introduces checklists to help teams and individuals track tasks without leaving Telegram. We've also added suggested posts — a safe, easy way to organize partnerships and promotions with channels, opening new opportunities for creators to crowdsource and monetize content.

Checklists

Premium users can now create collaborative checklists in any chat to track tasks and coordinate teams — or manage shopping and to-do lists.

Checklists have granular permissions letting you control if others can mark tasks as done or add more items to the list.

To create a checklist, open the attachment menu and tap 'Checklist'. You can send checklists to groups, 1-on-1 chats and your Saved Messages.

Suggest Posts in Channels

Subscribers are now able to submit content to their favorite channels as suggested posts through a transparent and automated interface.

Suggested posts are sent to channels via direct messages — and can be anything from fan art to promotional videos, product reviews and more.

You can set a specific date and time for the post — or select 'Anytime' to let the channel owner choose.

To suggest a post, tap the icon that appears in the message bar when sending a direct message to a channel.

Funding Suggested Posts

When suggesting a post, you may offer Telegram Stars or Toncoin to the owner in exchange for posting the message.

Toncoin can quickly be added to your Telegram account via Fragment — which allows for larger purchases.

Stars can also be purchased in bulk via Fragment and @PremiumBot — for users on desktop or who don't have access to Apple or Google Pay.

The channel owner will receive their reward 24 hours after posting — if the post is removed earlier, Telegram will automatically return the full amount to you.

Monetizing via Suggested Posts

Suggested posts give channels of any size a way to crowdsource content and participate in affiliate marketing — all from inside the Telegram app, protecting creators from scams and preserving their privacy.

Note that Stars are purchased via third-party providers like Apple, which may issue refunds to buyers within 21 days — potentially causing Stars to be deducted from your balance. Accepting payments for suggested posts in Toncoin is safer, as Toncoin payments can’t be refunded by the buyer.

When you receive an offer for a post, you can suggest edits to the post before accepting — to modify the text and media or change the price. Once both parties approve the post, it can be instantly posted or automatically scheduled for a specific time.

That's all for today — we'll be back once we check the next set of new features off our list.
