Automation
Save a target once and let the bot keep checking it on the selected 6h, 12h, or 24h schedule.
Features
What Story Control can do.
This is the plain-English list: what the bot already does today, what the current control surface looks like, and what the premium Pro Max customization layer is meant to add on top.
Core bot features
The everyday features users rely on.
These are the core setup, delivery, and automation features that define the product today.
Instagram post catch-up
Instagram post sources can optionally download earlier posts once during setup, and existing post targets can start a later catch-up from My Targets or /backfill.
No duplication
Media that was already sent is recorded so the bot does not keep reposting the same thing.
Run jobs manually
Users can trigger a job on demand, re-run a single target, or queue post backfill without waiting for the next scheduled cycle.
Destination caption controls
Instagram post captions belong to the destination and can be changed later without rebuilding the setup.
Direct support
Users can message the separate support bot when a destination, target, or platform change causes trouble.
Bot controls
The live bot already exposes more than setup alone.
Users do not need to start from scratch every time. The current control surface already covers re-runs, backfill, history, destination management, and subscription access.
My Targets
View saved targets, run one immediately, start backfill for Instagram post targets, pause or resume them, and delete them cleanly.
Destinations
Review saved Telegram groups or channels, inspect their current caption style, and remove old destinations when they are no longer needed.
History
See recent jobs, delivery counts, and outcomes without guessing whether a source has run recently.
Subscription
Open the plan picker inside the bot, review live limits, and activate paid access in the same Telegram identity that uses the product.
Caption system
Destination captions are already configurable.
The live product is beyond a single hard-coded caption. Users can shape how Instagram posts look per destination, and higher plans unlock more branding layers.
Caption building blocks
Destination captions can combine styled display name, custom text, hashtag, date, original caption, or no caption at all.
Styled display names
Basic and above can store a display name per target and apply font styling to it before posts are forwarded.
Emoji captions
Pro and above can add rotating emoji accents to destination captions without manually editing every post.
Channel or promo tag
Pro Max can append a persistent channel or promotion link to the bottom of the destination caption.
Pro Max direction
Customization, branding, and cleaner forwarding.
These are the premium customization tools we want Pro Max to carry or expand so high-volume channels can shape how forwarded media looks.
Direct forward mode
A cleaner forwarding style for channels or groups that want the output to stay minimal and direct.
Custom captions with style
Premium caption templates can shape how usernames, links, dates, and text appear in forwarded media.
Emoji captions with links
Caption formatting can include emoji styling and direct links when that fits the destination better.
Captions with channel name
Premium caption tools can append the channel name or an @mention automatically on forwarded content.
Custom watermarking
Branded watermarking can be applied before media is forwarded into the destination.
Sticker overlay
A sticker or branding overlay can be added before the media is sent to the group or channel.
