Telegram safety

When Telegram limits an account, Hilsen opens @SpamBot for you.

That starts Telegram’s release timer. You see the release time counting down, people who wrote first still get answers, and sending resumes by itself.

Before Hilsen, this team ran outreach in another Telegram CRM. When an account got limited, it said Waiting to send and nothing else. The release timer hadn’t started, because nobody had opened @SpamBot.

What happens

Five steps, no button to press

  1. 1

    Spot the limit

    The first refused send (PEER_FLOOD) flags the account. Nothing else goes out to strangers.
  2. 2

    Open @SpamBot

    Hilsen starts @SpamBot as that account right away. That is what starts Telegram’s release timer.
  3. 3

    Read the answer

    @SpamBot’s reply is saved word for word and turned into a release time you can see.
  4. 4

    Keep replying

    People who wrote first still get answers. Only new conversations wait.
  5. 5

    Resume by itself

    At release time Hilsen asks @SpamBot again. Clear means sending picks up where it stopped.

Why @SpamBot

Waiting doesn’t start the clock

When an account messages too many strangers, Telegram starts refusing its sends. @SpamBot is Telegram’s own account that says whether you’re limited and until when, and the release timer only starts once it’s opened. Hilsen opens it for you, as that account, the moment a send is refused.

No end date? The account is marked as needing action, with how to appeal through @SpamBot. A clear answer later puts it back to work.

Before you send

Most limits start with a report

People tap Report spam on links from strangers, the same pitch sent to everyone, pressure and money talk. Hilsen checks every first message as you write it, in campaigns and in the reply box, and says what to change in plain words.
  • Links in a first message, including calendar links. Send them once someone replies.
  • Too few variations for the audience: about 5 per 100 recipients, and at least 2 from 20.
  • Variations that are nearly the same, open the same way or all name your company.
  • Long, pushy, corporate or scripted wording.
  • Money amounts, percentages, yields, token sales, meme coins and gambling.

Good, Needs work or Risky. A risky campaign asks you to confirm before it launches, and managers can turn off links in first messages for the whole workspace.

Before a limit

Keep the odds down

Telegram limits accounts that message too many strangers too quickly, or that people report. Hilsen is built to keep you clear of both.
  • Limits are ceilings

    A daily cap per account (at most 50) and per campaign. First messages you send by hand count too. Telegram tends to flag accounts at around 30 new DMs a day, so new accounts start at 5 to 10.
  • Random gaps

    90 to 300 seconds between sends from one account by default, never on a fixed beat.
  • Sending windows

    Only on the days and hours you choose, in your workspace’s time zone.
  • Stop on reply

    The moment someone answers, their sequence stops. No follow-up lands on top of a reply.
  • A profile people trust

    A checklist for every sender: photo, name, username, a bio that says who you are and where you work.
  • Opt-outs honoured

    “Stop” or “remove me” marks the lead Do not contact and ends every sequence, automatically.

Accounts

One account, one place

Telegram notices when an account turns up on many devices or jumps between locations. Hilsen shows where each account is logged in and keeps it connecting from one consistent place.
  • Dedicated outreach account or personal account, chosen when you connect it, with limits to match.
  • Every other device an account is logged in on, with the app and the country. Never an IP address.
  • Sign out a stray device on a dedicated account. Admins and the account’s owner hear about new logins.
  • Connects to Telegram from a fixed IP, or through the account’s own SOCKS5 or MTProto proxy.
  • Proxies are tested and shown with the country Telegram sees. If one fails, the account waits for a person.

Sender profiles

A cold message is judged by the profile behind it

Each account gets a readiness score from six checks, with the next thing to fix. Hilsen reads the real profile from Telegram every 10 minutes, so the score stays honest.

Our line

What Hilsen will never do

  • Raise volume after a limit, or ever push an account to hit a number.
  • Try to get around a Telegram limit. @SpamBot is Telegram’s own self-service flow, and proxies only keep a location steady.
  • Move a conversation to another account behind your back.
  • Keep writing to someone who asked you to stop.
  • Sign someone out of the phone they use for a personal account.
  • Quietly connect another way when an account’s proxy stops working.

Questions

Ban risk, answered

Will my Telegram accounts get banned?

Any account that messages strangers can be limited by Telegram, whatever tool you use, and nobody can honestly promise otherwise. Hilsen keeps the odds down with daily limits that are ceilings (messages you send by hand count too), random gaps between sends, sending windows, sequences that stop on reply, a safety check on every first message and a profile checklist for every sender. If Telegram limits an account anyway, Hilsen checks @SpamBot straight away, shows the release time, keeps your replies going and resumes by itself. It never raises volume after a limit.

What happens when an account gets limited?

Hilsen opens @SpamBot as that account right away, which starts Telegram’s release timer, and shows the release time with a live countdown. Replies to people who wrote first keep going. New conversations wait and resume by themselves once @SpamBot reports the account is clear. If @SpamBot gives no end date, the account is marked as needing action, with how to appeal.

Does Hilsen check what my messages say?

Yes. A safety check reads every first message and follow-up as you write it, in campaigns and in the reply box. It flags links in a first message, too few or near-identical variations (about 5 per 100 recipients), long or pushy wording, money amounts, yields and token-sale, meme-coin or gambling talk, and says how to fix each one. Risky findings ask you to confirm at launch, and one click suggests a friendlier version.

Do messages I send by hand count toward the limit?

Yes, when the person has never written to that account. A first message from the lead page or the Inbox uses the same daily limit and waits for the same gap between sends as a campaign, and the reply box shows how many are left today. At 0 it’s refused, with the time the limit resets. Replies to people who wrote first never count.

Can I keep using the account on my phone?

Tell Hilsen which kind of account it is. A personal account can stay on your phone, with a lower daily limit, and Hilsen never signs its devices out. A dedicated outreach account is best used only in Hilsen: the account shows where else it’s logged in, you can sign out a stray device, and a new login notifies the team. Only device, app and country are shown, never IP addresses.

Where does Hilsen connect to Telegram from?

From a fixed IP, so each account keeps one consistent location. You can give an account its own SOCKS5 or MTProto proxy, ideally in the country of its phone number. Hilsen tests it, shows where Telegram sees it, and if the proxy stops working the account waits for a person instead of quietly connecting another way. Proxies keep a location steady. They don’t get around Telegram’s limits.

How fast does Hilsen send?

As fast as a person would, and no faster. Each account keeps a random gap between sends (90 to 300 seconds by default), sends only inside the hours you set and never goes past its daily limit of new conversations, which tops out at 50 and includes first messages sent by hand. Telegram is likely to flag an account at around 30 new DMs a day, and new or rarely used accounts should start around 5 to 10 a day and build up over two to three weeks. Personal accounts are safer at about 10 to 15. Everyone else waits for the next window.
