A campaign is your search: who we look for, where we look, who handles what is found and how much the campaign may collect per day. The wizard walks you through four steps: What to look for → Where to look → Agents → Limits and launch.

How to open the wizard

Campaigns → New campaign. For a new account the wizard opens by itself, right after the email is confirmed.

The draft is saved in this browser: if you leave the wizard, the Campaigns list keeps a Draft card with a Continue setup button.

Nothing needs connecting in advance. A Telegram account is needed only if you want to watch your own chats or reply from Telegrin; Threads needs a Threads account. You can connect them along the way inside the wizard.

Step 1. What to look for

1. Campaign name - for example, "Food delivery - Kyiv". You cannot go on without it: it is how you find the campaign in the list and in the feed.
2. AI-Brain - which AI-Brain the campaign uses. If you have several, pick one in the AI-Brain for this campaign field. If the AI-Brain is empty, click Create an AI-Brain - its page opens in a new tab.
3. Describe who you are looking for - in your own words, as you would tell a colleague: what you sell, who the buyer is, who you do not work with. A couple of sentences is enough.
4. Company website - optional. The field is shown while your AI-Brain is empty: Telegrin reads the site and fills the AI-Brain from it.
5. Your own words (optional) - if you know the exact word your buyers use, add it and it stays in the campaign for good. Your own words take at most half of the slots; the AI picks the rest.
6. Who is definitely not a lead - for example: freelancers, job seekers, other agencies.
7. Languages your customers write in - required. Up to 2 languages per campaign on the trial, up to 3 on paid plans.
8. Stop words - messages with them are dropped before the AI. Separate words with Enter or a comma.

Press Next. The AI picks the words - this takes up to a minute - and shows:

• Here is how we read it - what you sell and who we look for. If it is wrong, edit the description and the words are picked again.
• What else counts as a lead? - sometimes the AI asks whether to show job openings, resumes or discussions on your topic.
• The words we will search by - remove the ones that are not about you.

Press Next once more to go to the second step. On the trial a campaign can hold up to 10 keywords.

Step 2. Where to look

In Choose channels, tick one or more channels - signals from all of them land in one feed. Each card shows the price per post. Clicking a card opens the channel's settings (for example, Configure Telegram): Done keeps the settings, Cancel removes the channel you just added. On the trial, one campaign can have up to 3 channels.

• Telegram - in the Where to look block choose My chats only, All of Telegram or My chats + all of Telegram. If no account is connected, the panel opens on All of Telegram - nothing to pick. For your own chats, choose the account and tick Chats to monitor; What to watch on Telegram and Monitoring rules are set there too (in the Every message mode each message read costs 1 credit). Particular rooms can be added from Pick from the chats we already read.
• Threads - needs a connected account: press Connect Threads, and after connecting you come back to this same step.
• LinkedIn - nothing to connect. On paid plans you can narrow the search: Author industries and Author companies.
• Reddit - enter Subreddits, or describe the topic in Topic to find subreddits for and press Find subreddits. On the trial at least one subreddit is required. In What to read on Reddit - Posts only or Posts and comments.
• X (Twitter), Bluesky, Hacker News - nothing to set up, the search uses the campaign's words.
• Jobs - enter Job titles and Countries and cities, choose the First search and decide whether to tick Show vacancies from recruiting agencies.

💡 Tip: start with one or two channels - it is easier to see why there are too many or too few signals.

Step 3. Agents

The step opens with two options:

• Continue without agents - selected by default. The AI still reads every match and decides against the campaign description - 1 credit per message read. You write replies yourself or generate them on the lead card.
• AI agents - opens the Campaign pipeline. Press + where you need it, choose a group - Analysis, Replies or Delivery - and an agent from Your templates or Our options (or + Create your own), then press Add step. For a responder or commenter, choose the Sending mode: Copilot or Autopilot.

The Telegram bot is not added to a campaign by itself. To get leads in the bot: + → Delivery → Telegram bot. If you have not subscribed to the bot yet, this step shows a card to connect it.

Details - in the article "Agents in a campaign".

Step 4. Limits and launch

1. Campaign daily limit - one limit for all the campaign's channels: No limit, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 or 5000 messages per day. The default is 200. Once the limit is reached, the search waits for the next day.
2. Scan the last 24 hours - off by default. Turn it on and Telegrin checks every channel for the past day right away.
3. For your own Telegram chats a block Your words against the chosen chats may appear - how many recent messages matched your words.
4. On the right is the Summary: keywords, channels and agents. Check it and press Launch campaign.

You do not set the check frequency: Telegrin runs it (Telegram in real time, LinkedIn and Jobs once a day).

⚠️ Important about credits: 1 credit for every message the AI reads. On LinkedIn, Reddit, X (Twitter) and Jobs - for every delivered post or vacancy, and on LinkedIn also for every word that found nothing in a check. On the other channels an empty check is free.

What next

The first signals appear in the Feed. Look at the Rejected by AI view too: it shows what the AI dropped. Found a lead there - press Mark as lead.

Words can be added and removed right on the campaign page, in the Keywords card, without going through the wizard again. To change anything else, press Edit. The campaign menu also has Duplicate and Share.
