Getting Started
Onflow Ads is an advertising, cross-promotion and growth platform for Telegram channels and other social audiences. It is live on Telegram today, with Instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok and Discord rolling out.
Everything you manage lives at https://onflowads.com — your channels, your campaigns, your wallet and your account. The official Onflow Ads Telegram bot works alongside it: it messages you when something happens, publishes and removes the posts you agreed to, and checks that they stayed up. It holds no account of its own.
Signed out. The home page at onflowads.com. Start growing free is the front door to the sign-up form; Sign in at the top right is for an account you already have.
What you can do with one account
| Engine | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cross-Promotion | Swap promo posts with partner channels for free — create a campaign, share a code, and grow together. |
| Boost Metrics | Order followers, views, likes and reach on demand, paid from your wallet, with live delivery tracking. |
| Subscriber Exchange | Host ads in your channels and run your own across the exchange — free and powered by reciprocity. |
| Paid Promotions | Buy or sell sponsored posts across the network, as an advertiser or a channel owner. |
Alongside them: one post composer, shared by the three engines that publish a post — Paid Promotions, Cross-Promotion and the Subscriber Exchange — with an AI writing assistant inside it; click tracking on the placements you run; a wallet that funds every engine from one balance; and the Referral Programme, which pays you a share of every top-up your referrals make.
A post this platform puts into a channel is published with a single line under it — advertisement via onflowads.com, linked back to the site. It comes off for a plan of Plus or better, and the plan that counts is the one held by the owner of the channel the ad lands in — not the advertiser's. So a Plus host's channel stays clean whoever bought the slot, and a Free host's channel carries the line even when an Ultimate advertiser wrote the ad. It is the same rule in all three engines that publish a post, and there is no toggle either way.
The line is added by our bot at the moment it publishes. Where a channel owner publishes an ad by hand instead, nothing can stamp it for them, so what appears under that post is whatever they wrote. See Comparing the tiers.
Who it is for
- Channel owners and creators who want to grow an audience and earn from their reach.
- Advertisers who want placements in front of real, vetted audiences.
- Anyone doing both — one account can act on either side of the marketplace.
Signed out. Telegram is the platform that is live today; the other five are listed as coming soon.
Creating an account is free and no card is required. You can look around the whole dashboard before spending anything.
The quickstart
Four steps, and none of them is optional.
- Go to https://onflowads.com/signup, fill in the form and press Create account.
- Enter the 6-digit code we email you, on the Check your email page.
- Press Open dashboard on the Telegram card of your launchpad, then Open Telegram and connect — press Start in the bot once, and you are through.
- Press + Add channel to connect your first Telegram channel.
Onflow Ads will not open an engine for an account it cannot reach. An account created with an email must link the Telegram bot; an account created through Log in with Telegram must add a real email address. Until that is done, the Telegram dashboard and everything in it redirects to the connection screen. Connecting Your Account explains both halves, what stays open, and who never sees it.
Four ways in
| Route | What it needs | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Email and password | A form and a 6-digit code | A 48-hour session, or 30 days with Remember me |
| Log in with Telegram | One confirmation in Telegram | A 48-hour session, and an account that must then claim an email |
| Continue with Google | A Google account with a verified address | A 48-hour session, matched to your address |
| Continue with Apple | An Apple ID with a verified address | A 48-hour session, matched to your address |
The three buttons appear on the sign-in and sign-up pages only while that method is switched on. All four end in the same account when they resolve to the same identity.
Finding your references
Everything you create on Onflow Ads — every order, campaign, top-up, payout and support conversation — is given a short permanent reference the moment it exists, like OFA-204-7831. You never create one and there is nothing to write down: the reference is on the thing's own row or page, and repeated in every email and bot message about it.
You need one only when you write to us, and then only one: the reference of the thing that is wrong. Your Onflow Ads IDs is the index — what each prefix means, where to find it, and which to quote. Your own account reference is on Your OFA ID.
