General Questions
What is TeleSender?
TeleSender is a Chrome extension that automates Telegram marketing tasks including member scraping, bulk messaging, and group invitations. It connects directly to Telegram using the MTProto protocol for reliable, native API access.
Is TeleSender safe to use?
TeleSender includes comprehensive anti-ban protection:
- Configurable rate limiting
- Human behavior simulation
- Adaptive delay systems
- FloodWait handling
However, any automation carries some risk. We recommend using the "Safe" or "Ultra Safe" profiles and following our best practices.
Does TeleSender work with all Telegram accounts?
Yes, TeleSender works with any standard Telegram account. You'll need:
- A phone number registered with Telegram
- Ability to receive SMS verification codes
- 2FA password if enabled on your account
How is TeleSender different from Telegram bots?
| Feature | TeleSender | Bots |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | MTProto (native) | Bot API (limited) |
| Messaging | Any user | Only users who started chat |
| Scraping | Full member access | Limited |
| Rate Limits | User-level | Stricter bot limits |

Account Safety
What is FloodWait?
FloodWait is Telegram's rate limiting response. When you make too many requests, Telegram tells you to wait before continuing. TeleSender automatically:
- Pauses operations
- Waits the required time
- Adds buffer time for safety
- Resumes automatically
How do I avoid getting banned?
- Use Safe profile — Default recommended settings
- Start slow — Warm up new accounts gradually
- Respect limits — Don't exceed daily operation caps
- Vary timing — Use random delays
- Take breaks — Don't run 24/7
What if my account gets restricted?
If you receive a restriction:
- Stop all automation immediately
- Wait 24-48 hours minimum
- Use the account normally (manual messaging)
- Switch to Ultra Safe when resuming
- Reduce volume by 50%
What's the difference between anti-ban profiles?
| Profile | Send Delay | Daily Limit | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Safe | 90 seconds | 200 ops | Very Low |
| Safe | 45 seconds | 500 ops | Low |
| Moderate | 30 seconds | 1,000 ops | Medium |
| Fast | 15 seconds | 2,000 ops | High |
How should I warm up a new account?
New accounts need gradual introduction to automation:
| Week | Activity |
|---|---|
| 1 | Manual use only |
| 2 | 10-20 messages/day |
| 3 | 30-50 messages/day |
| 4+ | Normal operation |
Errors & Troubleshooting
"Session Expired" — What do I do?
Your Telegram session has been invalidated. To fix:
- Go to Settings → Accounts
- Remove the affected account
- Add the account again
- Complete verification
"PEER_FLOOD" — What does this mean?
This is a serious rate limit. Your account is temporarily restricted from certain actions.
Immediate actions:
- Stop all automation
- Wait 24-48 hours
- Use account manually only
When resuming:
- Use Ultra Safe profile
- Reduce daily volume significantly
- Monitor for repeat warnings
"USER_PRIVACY_RESTRICTED" — Why can't I message someone?
The user has privacy settings that prevent non-contacts from messaging them. This is normal — TeleSender automatically skips these users and continues with others.
"CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED" — Why can't I invite users?
You need admin permissions to invite users to a group. Verify:
- You're an admin in the target group
- Your admin rights include "Add Members"
- The group allows member additions
My campaign is stuck — What should I do?
- Check logs — Look for error patterns
- Try pause/resume — May clear temporary issues
- Check internet — Ensure stable connection
- Keep tab active — Browser throttling can affect operation
Scraping returns empty results — Why?
Possible causes:
- Wrong group selected — Verify selection
- Private channel — Some don't expose member lists
- Filters too strict — Relax filter settings
- Group empty — Some groups have few members
