Auto-Boost
Auto-Boost watches a Telegram channel and boosts every new post automatically, the moment it goes live — no reordering each time. Each Auto-Boost rule has its own prepaid budget pool; posts are boosted from the pool until it runs dry, and cancelling refunds whatever is left.
Auto-Boost lives in your Boost dashboard: open https://onflowads.com/telegram/dashboard/boost and switch to the Auto-Boost view. The Command center also shows a live "Auto-Boost armed" shortcut when you have rules running.
- Your Onflow Ads account must have Telegram connected — the bot watches your channel through it. Without it, creation is refused with "Connect your Telegram first."
- The channel must be public (an @username or t.me link) — or paste a private channel's invite link, which is passed through for the engine to resolve.
- The budget pool is funded from wallet cash (boost credit is for one-off orders, not pools).
- The number of Auto-Boosts you can run at once depends on your plan — the view's header shows your used/available slots (e.g. "2 / 3 slots").
Create an Auto-Boost
- In the Auto-Boost view, find the "New rule" card.
- Booster — pick the service to apply to each new post (e.g. post views or members). Members-only services still need the qualifying plan here, exactly as for one-off orders.
- Per new post — pick the quantity delivered per post. It must sit inside the service's own minimum–maximum (the store tells you the exact range if it doesn't).
- Prepaid pool — pick the starting budget (e.g. $10 / $25 / $50). The card's summary estimates your cost per post at your member price and roughly how many posts the pool covers.
- Choose whether to enable auto-renew (top the pool back up from your wallet automatically each cycle).
- Enter or pick the channel and press "Arm the rule · funds from wallet".
What happens on creation:
- The channel is verified before any money moves — you'll be told if the handle is invalid ("Enter a valid channel @username or t.me link."), if the channel can't be accessed ("We couldn't access that channel. Make it public (or paste its invite link if it's private), then try again."), or if checks are momentarily down (try again in a few minutes). Invite links skip the public check and are verified by the engine itself.
- Your cost per post is quoted by the same pricing engine as one-off orders, with your plan discount and volume break applied.
- The pool must cover at least one post — otherwise: "Fund at least $X — one post costs that much."
- The pool is charged to your wallet in the same step that arms the rule. If your wallet is short, nothing is created ("Wallet short for that pool — top up first.").
On success: "Auto-Boost started — new posts in your channel will be boosted automatically."
Rule statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ARMED (active) | Watching the channel; every new post triggers an order from the pool. |
| PAUSED | Not boosting. Either you paused it, or it auto-paused — most commonly because the pool ran too low to cover a post. The card notes the pause reason when there is one. |
| Cancelled | Ended for good; the unspent pool was refunded. Cancelled rules can't be resumed — create a new rule instead. |
Managing a running rule
Each Auto-Boost card shows its status, the pool remaining out of the total, roughly how many posts are left, how many runs it has made and when it last ran. From the card:
- Pause / Resume — stop and restart boosting without touching the pool. Resuming a rule also clears its low-budget flags, so it warns you afresh if the pool runs low again.
- + $10 pool — top the budget up from wallet cash (the button adds $10 at a time). A top-up on a rule that auto-paused for lack of budget reactivates it automatically. If your wallet can't cover the top-up: "Not enough wallet cash for that top-up."
- Renew on / Renew off — toggle auto-renewal (below).
- Cancel — end the rule; the unspent pool is refunded to your wallet immediately, and the card confirms the refunded amount. A second cancel tap is harmless ("That subscription is already cancelled.").
Cycles and auto-renew
An Auto-Boost runs in 30-day cycles from the day it's armed:
- With auto-renew off, the rule runs until the cycle ends or the pool empties — whichever comes first — and then waits for you.
- With auto-renew on, shortly before the cycle ends the renewal charges your wallet, tops the pool back up, extends the rule for another month, and clears any low-budget pause so it keeps running hands-free.
- If your wallet can't cover a renewal, the renewal is skipped and the rule simply waits — nothing partial happens, and no debt accrues. Top up your wallet or the pool to continue.
You can toggle auto-renew at any time from the card.
A rule that empties its pool stops boosting new posts (and pauses) until money is added — top it up from the card, or leave auto-renew on. Keep an eye on the "posts left" estimate on each card.
Slots by plan
| Plan | Concurrent Auto-Boost rules |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Lite | 3 |
| Plus | 5 |
| Elite | 8 |
| Master | 15 |
| Ultimate | 50 |
At your cap, creating another rule is refused with your plan's limit and the plan that raises it; the view also shows an "All N slots armed" card. Cancel a rule to free a slot, or upgrade.
How it relates to ordinary orders
Every post the engine boosts becomes a normal boost order in your history, with the same tracking, statuses and automatic refund rules as a manual order. Auto-Boost is simply the trigger; the delivery and money paths are identical. The engine is shared with the Telegram bot — rules created on the website and in the bot appear together and are executed by the same watcher.
FAQ
Does Auto-Boost boost old posts? No — only posts published after the rule is armed trigger a boost.
Can I run several rules on one channel? Yes — for example views on every post from one rule and reactions from another. Each rule has its own pool and slot.
Why did my rule pause itself? Almost always: the pool dropped below the cost of one post. Top it up (which resumes it automatically) or enable auto-renew.
Is the pool refund really immediate? Yes — cancelling credits the unspent remainder straight back to your wallet, in the same action.
Can the pool spend more than I funded? No. Each post's order is drawn from the pool; when it can't cover the next post, the rule pauses. There's no overdraft.
