Auto-Boost

An Auto-Boost rule watches one Telegram channel and boosts every new post the moment it goes live, spending from a prepaid pool until the pool runs out. One rule replaces an indefinite run of identical manual orders.

The Auto-Boost page at https://onflowads.com/telegram/dashboard/boost/auto is where you watch a rule spend and where you pause, resume or cancel it. It lists every rule on your account, whatever channel each one watches. If you want one channel's side of the story instead, its own dashboard reports the rules watching it — see Where a rule shows up elsewhere below.

Plus plan · Advertiser. The Auto-Boost page: a wallet strip, the Arm a new rule card, and a Your rules card. Everything you can do to an existing rule is on its own row.

Before you start

• Sign in and clear the onboarding gate, as with every Boost page.
• Rules watch through Telegram. The Onflow Ads bot is what sees a new post in the channel — that is the only part of a rule it does. Everything a rule spends or decides — claiming the pool, placing the order, warning, pausing, renewing, refunding — is done by the website from the post the bot reported.
• The pool is wallet cash. It was funded from cash and it spends as cash.

Arming a rule

1. In Arm a new rule, pick the Service every post should get, enter the Channel (its @username or its t.me link), the Quantity per post and a Starting budget in USD. Tick Auto-renew the pool monthly from my wallet if you want it to renew.
2. The line under the form estimates the cost of one post and how many posts the starting budget covers.
3. Press Arm Auto-Boost. The starting budget is taken from your wallet cash straight away and becomes the rule's pool; the rule runs for 30 days.

A rule is refused — and nothing is charged — when your account has no Telegram connected, when the channel is private (an invite link) or cannot be read, when the budget does not cover even one post, when the wallet cannot cover the budget, or when you already have as many active rules as your plan allows (1 on Free, 3 on Lite, 5 on Plus, 8 on Elite, 15 on Master, 50 on Ultimate).

What the page shows

One card, headed Your rules, with one row per rule.

Element	What it is
Service name	Which booster the rule places for each post
Sub-line	5,000 /post · My Channel · $12.40 of $25.00 left · 8 posts boosted · last boost 3h ago
Cycle line	Renews 1 Oct 2026 when auto-renew is on, Ends 1 Oct 2026 when it is off
OFBS-…	The rule's permanent reference, on its own line. One click selects all of it
Status badge	The raw status — active, paused, expired or cancelled
Pause / Resume	Toggles the rule. Which one you see depends on its current state
Top up	Adds wallet cash to the pool. On a rule the engine paused, it also restarts it — unless you are already at your plan's active-rule limit, in which case the money lands and the rule stays paused, and the page says so
Auto-renew: on / off	Switches monthly renewal on or off
Cancel	Ends the rule permanently and refunds the unspent pool

Reading the sub-line

Fragment	What it means
5,000 /post	The per-post quantity the rule orders
My Channel	The channel it watches
$12.40 of $25.00 left	Unspent pool, against this cycle's funding — what is left plus what the rule has spent since it last renewed. Carry-over and any top-up are part of it, so the figure resets to a full pool at each renewal by design
8 posts boosted	How many posts the rule has boosted since it started
last boost 3h ago	When the rule last boosted a post. — when it has not boosted one, or when its last boost is older than six months

How a rule spends

The bot checks watched channels every few minutes and records each new post it finds; the website's Auto-Boost sweep picks the record up within about a minute and a half.

• A new post appears; the rule places a boost for its per-post quantity. The order it produces is an ordinary Boost order, placed by the website exactly as a manual one would be.
• The cost is claimed from the pool as part of placing the order, so two simultaneous posts cannot overspend it — and the same post can never be boosted twice, however many times the bot reports it.
• An album — several photos or videos sent together — is one post and is boosted once, through the link to its first item.
• A post the provider refuses is retried on later passes, up to three times, then skipped so one bad post cannot block the rule. A post older than 48 hours is never boosted — a rule that sat paused for days does not fire a burst of stale boosts when it resumes.
• The pool is cash only. Boost credit is never used by a rule.
• As the pool runs low the engine warns you. When it can no longer cover a post, a rule on auto-renew buys its next month early from your wallet and carries on; a rule without auto-renew — or one whose wallet can't cover the renewal — pauses.
• Rules run on 30-day cycles. A rule that reaches the end of its term without renewing expires.

Pausing and resuming

1. Press Pause on an active rule. It stops boosting new posts immediately. The pool is untouched — nothing is refunded and nothing is charged.
2. Press Resume on a paused rule to start it again — as long as its 30-day term has not run out in the meantime.

Resuming also clears the low-budget warnings the engine sets, so a rule that paused itself on an empty pool will warn you properly again rather than going quiet.

Both actions are limited to 20 requests per hour.

Pausing does not stop the clock

A rule's 30-day term keeps running while it is paused. When the term ends, the hourly sweep flips the rule to expired — paused rules included — and an expired rule cannot be resumed: Resume answers That rule's month has run out — start a new one, or cancel it to get the unspent budget back. The prepaid pool is not lost, but Cancel is what returns it. If you are pausing for more than a few days, check the Renews / Ends date on the row first.

Cancelling

1. Press Cancel. Your browser asks: Cancel this rule? Any remaining budget is returned to your balance.
2. Confirm. The rule is set to cancelled, auto-renew is switched off, and any scheduled renewal is dropped.
3. The whole unspent pool is refunded to your wallet cash immediately — not on a sweep, not on a delay.
4. If part of the pool came from promotional balance, that share goes back locked rather than as withdrawable cash.

Cancelling a rule is permanent

A cancelled rule cannot be resumed. Use Pause if you only want to stop it for a while — pausing keeps the pool and the rule intact, and costs nothing. It does not extend the rule's term, though: see Pausing does not stop the clock above before pausing across the end of a cycle.

Renewal, and the one thing that surprises people

A rule with auto-renew switched on takes its monthly fee from your wallet cash, adds it to the pool, pushes the term out by 30 days and un-pauses itself. The website does this — on the renewal date, or early when the pool can no longer cover a post — and tells you with an Auto-Boost renewed notification. A rule with auto-renew off simply expires at the end of its term, with an Auto-Boost expired notification.

A renewal your wallet cannot cover switches auto-renew off permanently

It is not a skipped cycle. When the wallet cannot cover the fee, the platform records the failure, sets auto-renew to off, and clears the next renewal date. It never retries on its own — not tomorrow, not after you top up your wallet. Keep enough wallet cash to cover a renewal before its date; if one has already failed, press Auto-renew: off on the rule's row to switch it back on.

What reaches you about a rule

The website notifies you — on the site, by email per your settings, and as a Telegram DM when your Telegram is linked — when a rule pauses, when its budget is running low (under a fifth of its monthly fee), when it renews, and when its term expires. The Auto-Boost paused entry names the channel and the reason.

Where a rule shows up elsewhere

This page is the only place a rule is controlled, but it is not the only place it is reported.

• The boosts it places are ordinary Boost orders. They land on the Orders page with their own OFB- references, alongside the boosts you placed by hand.
• The rule itself appears on the watched channel's own dashboard, if that channel is registered on your account. Open My channels, click the channel, and its activity feed carries one row per rule reading Auto-Boost running, Auto-Boost paused, Auto-Boost ended or Auto-Boost expired, while its Boost Metrics panel counts Posts auto-boosted for that channel.

@username or link — the rule stores the handle

The Channel field accepts either an @username or a t.me link. Either way the rule stores the channel's bare handle, which is what the channel page matches on.

Two things that page will not tell you: it holds no controls (pause, resume and cancel are here and nowhere else), and its Spent figure does not add the rule's per-post cost on top of the orders — the orders the rule placed already carry that money, and counting both would charge every auto-boosted post twice. The full page is documented in A channel's own dashboard.

From the support chat

Pause my Auto-Boost, resume it or cancel it in the chat: the assistant names the rule it is about to change and waits for CONFIRM. Ask my auto-boost rules to see them all. What the assistant can do for you has the full list and the confirmation rule.
