The Where to look step defines a campaign's sources. You can pick several channels at once - signals from all of them land in one shared feed.
Clicking a channel card opens its settings window immediately. The Done button saves them; Cancel removes a channel you have just added from the selection. To remove a channel you already chose, press the cross on its card.
Telegram
What we watch
First pick a mode:
- Chats - we look for people in the groups your account has joined. A message like that becomes a lead you can reply to.
- Channel posts - we watch posts in the channels your account follows. These are news on your topic, not leads: a post has no human author, so there is nothing to reply to.
- Both - leads from groups and news from channels in one campaign. The two source lists stay separate.
Choosing sources
Pick a Telegram account (if there is only one, it is selected for you) and tick the chats you need. Use the search field - next to each chat you can see the number of members or subscribers.
⚠️ Important: the list shows only the chats the connected account is already in. To add a new chat, join it in Telegram first, then refresh the list.
If there is no account
Telegrin offers to connect one and brings you back to this same step - the campaign draft is kept. You cannot move on without a connected account.
Threads
A connected Threads account is needed both to create a campaign and to publish replies. The settings window shows which account the campaign will run from.
There are no separate sources here - the source is your keywords, the ones you added on the first step.
⚠️ Important: without a connected account the wizard will let you move on, but you will not be able to launch the campaign. Connect Threads in advance: Settings → Accounts.
Nothing to connect. The search runs across all of LinkedIn using your keywords.
You can narrow it with two filters on the post's author:
- Author industries - chosen from the LinkedIn industry catalog;
- Author companies - free text entry of names.
💡 Tip: filters are applied before credits are spent - posts that fail them cost you nothing. This is the most effective way to save on LinkedIn: leave the filters empty only when your audience really does come from any industry.
ℹ️ Note: the company comes from the LinkedIn profile - these are current, and sometimes former, employees. The filter is precise, but not perfect.
Nothing to connect. The search runs on your keywords.
The main setting is Subreddits. Name the communities to search in.
⚠️ Important: an empty list means searching all of Reddit - the AI checks far more posts, so it uses more credits (one credit per post the AI checks). Name 3-5 relevant subreddits - precision goes up and costs go down.
X (Twitter)
Nothing to connect. The search runs across all of X using your keywords - just like LinkedIn and Reddit.
Telegrin drafts the reply, but you post it yourself: the AI writes the text, you copy it and reply on X.
ℹ️ Note: this channel is available on the same plans as LinkedIn and Reddit.
Bluesky
Nothing to connect - Telegrin searches Bluesky from its own side. The source is your keywords.
The AI drafts the reply and you post it yourself. This channel is available on any plan.
Hacker News
Nothing to connect. The search runs on your keywords through the official Hacker News search.
The AI drafts the reply and you post it yourself. This channel is available on any plan.
How many channels to take at the start
Start with one or two. When there are only a few sources, it is easy to see where the good signals come from and where the noise does. You can add a channel to a running campaign at any time through Edit.
⚠️ Important: you cannot remove the last channel from a campaign - a campaign needs at least one source. If you need to stop the search, move the campaign to the archive.
What to do if a channel is unavailable
Sometimes a channel card is inactive and carries a badge about the plan required or a temporary unavailability. Telegrin explains the reason under the channel grid. The other channels keep working as usual.
