tgcf is a Python-based Telegram message forwarding automation tool that syncs messages between source and destination chats using either bot or user accounts. It supports past (historical) and live forwarding modes, plugin-based customization (filtering, formatting, regex replacement, watermarks, OCR), and offers a web interface, CLI, and JSON configuration.
Use cases
- forward messages from one telegram channel to another automatically
- sync telegram chats in real time
- back up telegram channel messages to another chat
- clone and repost messages across telegram groups
- auto-post content to telegram channels
- filter and reformat forwarded telegram messages with regex
- add watermarks or OCR to forwarded telegram media
When to choose
- you need automated message forwarding between Telegram chats with customization
- you want both historical (past) and live forwarding modes
- you prefer a tool with a web UI, CLI, and JSON config options
- you need plugins for filtering, formatting, replacing, watermarking, or OCR on forwarded messages
When to avoid
- you need forwarding on platforms other than Telegram
- you require an officially supported API rather than userbot/MTProto automation (risk of account restrictions)
- you need a managed hosted service with no self-hosting
- you want a simple one-off message copy without ongoing sync
