Add the bot to Telegram
Add @story_control_bot to the group or channel you want to forward media into. Groups need send-message permission; channels need admin + post permission.
Story Control watches public Instagram and Snapchat accounts, then forwards every new story, post, and reel to the Telegram group or channel you choose. No scraping scripts, no manual saves, no missed posts.
Setup path
Each chapter is short by design. The bot queues the first run automatically, shows when automation runs next, and keeps deeper troubleshooting further down.
Add @story_control_bot to the group or channel you want to forward media into. Groups need send-message permission; channels need admin + post permission.
Tap Add Destination in the bot and pick the exact group or channel from Telegram's chat picker. The destination is where every forwarded story, post, or reel lands.
Choose Snapchat or Instagram, then paste a username or profile link. The bot normalizes the target and checks visibility before saving.
For Instagram pick Stories, Posts, or Both. Snapchat is story-only. If you pick Instagram posts, optionally kick off a one-time catch-up on older posts.
Automation checks active targets every 6, 12, or 24 hours, skips media that was already delivered, and shows when the next run is scheduled.
Inside the bot
Pinned recordings on the right. Copy on the left. As you scroll past each scene, the video swaps — no clicking, no tabbing. For the full library, open the videos page.
Nickname, chat picker, caption style, emoji toggle, channel link. Destinations live on their own — any target can be attached later.
Paste a username or post link, choose stories / posts / both, pick a backfill window, then pick display name and font style. Saved.
Three buttons that keep the bot honest. History shows past jobs. Automation schedules runs. Run Jobs fires a manual fetch on demand.
Remove a destination without affecting others. Re-running only sends new media — dedupe blocks anything already delivered.
