Learn the Telegram chat, review the work, and see what happens next.
Revised edition · 17 September 2026 This course covers the Telegram mini app. Screenshots are existing course illustrations; your own data and available connections will differ. Chat examples illustrate the workflow.
What you got, the one character you will meet, and the one rule that never bends.
You signed, and a studio was built for you alone. This course shows you every part of it, one short lesson at a time. This first lesson is the ground the other eleven stand on.
What you got
Your studio writes LinkedIn posts in your voice, finds the right people to talk to, drafts the outreach, and follows up when things go quiet. It works through the day and writes down everything it does, with a time on every line. You read, decide, and tap. That split never changes: it does the work, you make the calls.

The one character
Everything in this course calls it your studio. It is one colleague living in two places: a chat where you talk to it, and a small app where you glance at it. Lesson 2 covers the chat. Lesson 3 covers the app. There is nothing else to learn.
The one rule
Nothing goes out without your tap. Every post, every message, every reply starts as a draft in your queue. You read it, and you approve it or say what is wrong. Approval is the only door out, and you hold it. No setting turns that off.
The approval screen. One draft, one decision. Lesson 4 walks through it.
Read the line above the button. It says the draft goes out under your name, as written. The moment you tap, the words become yours. So read like it matters, and tap like you mean it.
When it does not work
Your studio drafts from your real calls, notes, and replies, and it can still miss. In the first weeks it asks more than it acts, because it would rather ask than guess. When a draft sounds wrong, say so in the chat; that is how it learns you. Lesson 12 covers every case where something feels off.
Ask for work, push back, ask what happened. Plain words do everything.
The chat is where you and your studio talk. Write the way you would write to a colleague: plain words, half sentences, a voice note on a walk. It works from the calls, notes and past posts you have shared or connected. A new studio starts with the material available to it; tell it what is missing.
Ask for work
Your studio · Chat
You · 09:12
Can you draft a post from this morning's call? The part about turning down the wrong client.
Studio · 09:14
Done. One draft is in your queue.
"I said no to a new client this week. The fee was right. The fit was wrong. Here is how I could tell."
Ask in plain words. Share the call notes first if they are not connected.
Ask for work in plain language. The studio may ask for a source, a detail or a connection before it can draft something worth reviewing.
Push back
Your studio · Chat
You · 09:16
Too polished. I never say "thrilled". And cut the first line.
Studio · 09:16
Fixed. I saved your preference to avoid "thrilled". The new version is in your queue.
Save the preference, then check the next draft.
Ask what happened
Your studio · Chat
You · 18:40
What did you do today?
Studio · 18:40
Morning brief at 07:31. Drafted one post; it waits for you. Sent the two replies you approved. Researched three people for tomorrow. Nothing went out without you.
The record, on request.
Ask for the activity record when you need to check what happened and when. A reply in chat is not, by itself, proof that a post or message was delivered.
Try saying
"Draft a post about the pricing call."
"Make it shorter and blunter."
"What did you do today?"
"Hold everything until Monday."
When it does not work
Sometimes it misreads what you meant. Correct it plainly and ask it to confirm the change. If its answer is unclear, ask what was completed, what is waiting and what it needs from you.
One glance, three answers: what waits, what was decided, what your studio did.
The app opens from the same chat, and it exists for the glance: thirty seconds at a coffee break, one thumb. It answers three questions: what waits for you, what was decided, and what your studio has been doing.
The whole app is one screen you scroll. Today sits on top.
The strip at the top
Your name sits first, because this is your studio and nobody else's. Beside it, the scheme control: Auto follows your phone, and one tap flips it to Light or Dark until you change it. Under the name, three counts you can read mid-stride: what waits for your review, posts this week, and replies from outreach.
The Today card
The first card is Today. The thin strip inside it is your studio speaking for itself: "Last acted 07:31 · Daily brief" means it finished your brief at 07:31. When it has done nothing yet, the strip says exactly that.
Below the strip sit two headings that look alike and carry different weight:
Waiting for you is work that needs a decision: posts, replies, lead magnets. Each row opens the approval screen from lesson 4.
To read is your studio showing its work: research notes, reports. You read them and tap Got it. Nothing goes anywhere.
Two headings, two meanings. A decision, or just a read.
Decided work appears under Decided with its mark: a tick for approved, a cross for rejected. And the day closes with the receipts, the list of what your studio did, each line stamped with its time.
When it does not work
With no connection, the app shows the last saved view and a banner at the top says so. It never fills a gap with a guess: a card with nothing to show tells you what would fill it instead.
The rest of your app
Calls today appears when calendar information is available. Check the time and invitation state. Where available, open the attendee details; a note also tells you whether the studio has a transcript or preparation notes.
With the studio shows approved work still awaiting completion. Approval and delivery are different steps.
Outreach shows campaigns, their status, lead counts and reply counts. Lesson 7 explains how to read them.
Pipeline shows contactable leads and new leads this week, with recorded replied, booked and client counts where available.
Morning digest is your daily reading. Check its date before treating it as today's brief.
Usage may appear beside your name when available. Ask in chat if you need help understanding the reading.
The screenshots in this course illustrate the core screens. Your own name, counts, drafts and available connections will differ.
The tap that runs everything, and the three honest answers you can give a draft.
Approval is the centre of the whole product. Everything your studio makes passes through one queue, and every item waits for one of three answers from you.
Fig. 02 · The tapThree answers · one door out
Open an item
Tap any row under Waiting for you. The draft opens in full: the exact words, laid out the way they will look when they go out.
The full draft, the consequence line, and the decision.
Read the line above the button
Every kind of work states its consequence before you tap, in one line:
A post: it goes out under your name, as written.
A reply: it goes from your account, as written.
A lead magnet: it is published for your leads to use.
A lead list: the studio works from this list. Nothing is sent to anyone without its own approval.
A campaign: the studio starts it, and messages begin going out on their schedule.
A document: nothing. Reading carries no consequence, so a note only offers Got it.
If the line surprises you, stop and read the draft again. That line is the contract.
Your three answers
Approve. One tap. The studio takes it from here.
Edit first. Say the change in the chat ("cut the first line, then it is good") and a corrected draft replaces the old one in your queue. You approve the version you actually want.
Reject, with a reason. Tap Reject and say what was off, in your own words. Fine to skip, but the reason is the teaching: it is kept with the draft and read back every week, so the same miss fades out of future drafts.
A few blunt words are enough. They are kept, and they teach.
After the tap
Approval records your decision; it does not mean the work has already been delivered. Check "With the studio" for approved work awaiting completion, the weekly view for scheduled posts, and the activity record for what actually happened. Timing depends on the schedule, the connection and the work involved. If an item stays pending, ask the studio what is blocking it.
When it does not work
If the tap reports an error or the connection drops, refresh and check the item before trying again. A missing confirmation does not prove that your decision failed. If you already decided the same item on another screen, the app can report that it was handled and refresh the list.
The week strip: what goes out, when, and how to change your mind.
Your studio plans posts by the week. The This Week card shows seven days at a glance, and every approved post takes its place on the day it goes out.
Seven days, four posts. Dots are posts; the small badge is work waiting.
Reading the strip
Each dot under a day is a post. A green dot already went out. An orange dot is queued and coming.
The small badge on a day counts drafts still waiting for your decision.
Tap any day and the list under the strip names its posts, each with its time and its state: queued, posted, or failed.
Fig. 03 · The weekSeven days · four posts
A post reaches this strip only one way: you approved it. The timing is your studio's suggestion; the words passed your eyes.
Changing your mind
An approved post can still be stopped, right up until it goes out. Say it in the chat:
Your studio · Chat
You · 21:04
Stop the Thursday post. The client story needs another pass.
Studio · 21:05
Done. The Thursday post is out of the queue and will not go out. Want me to redraft the story part, or hold it for next week?
Approved and then thought better of it? One sentence fixes it.
When it does not work
A post can fail on LinkedIn's side. When that happens, the strip says failed in plain letters and your studio tells you in the chat, with what it will do next. A silent miss is the one thing this screen was built never to show.
Replies land as drafts. Your tap sends them from your account.
People answer your posts and your outreach. Those conversations are yours; your studio brings supported incoming conversations into the review workflow.
A reply lands as a draft
For connected outreach, your studio can read incoming replies and prepare an answer for your review. Check the thread and the proposed action before approving:
Your studio · Chat
Studio · 10:22
Dana Meyer replied to your outreach: "This is exactly our situation." I drafted an answer; it waits in your queue.
You · 10:31
Seen it. Approved.
Studio · 10:31
Sent from your account. I will tell you when she answers.
The thread stays yours. The typing does not have to be.
Approving a supported outreach reply authorizes sending it from the connected outreach account, as written. Check the delivery record afterwards. To the person on the other end it is simply you, because you read every word before it went.
Your reply inbox
Waiting replies gather in the same queue as everything else, marked Reply, each row naming who it answers. Two or three taps on a slow morning clears the whole conversation debt.
Check delivery
Check With the studio for approved replies still awaiting completion. If one stays pending, ask what is blocking it. Do not rely on an alert alone to confirm delivery.
Comment monitoring and outreach replies are different workflows. A surfaced LinkedIn comment does not by itself establish that the studio can publish a reply to it. Ask which action is supported; if a manual reply is needed, the studio can prepare the wording for you.
When it does not work
Some threads deserve your own fingers. Say "I will take this one" and your studio stands back from that thread. And when a drafted answer misses the tone of the conversation, reject it with a word about why; the next one reads the room better.
Lead lists, what approving one really means, and the campaign that follows.
Posts make the right people come to you. Outreach goes the other way, and it starts with a list of names.
Ask for a list
Your studio · Chat
You · 11:02
Find me ops leaders at consultancies, 20 to 80 people, who post about scaling pains.
Studio · 11:04
On it. I will research each person and file a list for your review, with a line on why each one fits.
Describe the person you want in the room. It does the finding.
The list lands in your queue with a reason beside every name, from real research done before a word was drafted to anyone. Read the names the way you would read a guest list.
What approving a list means
Approving a list sends nothing to anyone. It means one thing: these are the right people, work from them. Cross out anyone you would rather leave alone before you tap; a name removed at this stage never hears from you.
Then the words
After you approve the list, your studio drafts the campaign: the messages, in your voice, tuned to each person from the research. That copy lands in your queue as its own item, and you read it like any other draft.
Then, and only then, the sending
The campaign approval is the one that arms sending. Its consequence line says so plainly: approve, and the studio starts the campaign, and messages begin going out on their schedule, a few good people at a human pace, never a blast. Three separate yeses stand between a stranger's name and a message from you: the list, the copy, the start.
Fig. 04 · List to campaignTwo gates before a message leaves
When it does not work
A list can miss: wrong size of company, wrong kind of person. Reject it and say why; the reason narrows the next search. And a campaign you started can always be paused from the chat. "Pause the outreach" stops the sending while you think.
Read the Outreach card
A campaign can be draft, running, paused, finished or failed. Check its status alongside the lead and reply counts. An approved campaign still needs a working outreach connection before it can send. If it is paused or failed, ask what needs attention before restarting it.
Read the Pipeline card
Contactable leads are people available for outreach. New this week shows recent additions. Recorded stages can include replied, booked and clients. Use these to understand progress through the pipeline; adding a lead does not mean they have replied or booked a call.
Posting and outreach have separate LinkedIn connections. A successful posting connection does not mean outreach is ready. See lesson 11.
A useful thing your leads can keep, built by your studio, published on your tap.
A lead magnet is a small useful thing you give away: a checklist, a scorecard, a short guide. People trade their attention for it, and it turns a cold conversation warm. Your studio builds them for you.
Ask for one
Your studio · Chat
You · 14:20
Can we make a self-check scorecard for founders doing their own content?
Studio · 14:22
Good fit for your pricing post's readers. I will build it and put it in your queue; you will see the whole thing exactly as a lead would.
Name the thing you wish you could hand people. It builds it.
The full preview
A magnet is judged by using it, so its approval screen shows the finished thing, live, inside the app. Scroll it, tap through it, read every question, exactly as a lead will.
You review the real thing, whole. What you see is what a lead gets.
What approving publishes
Approve, and the studio publishes the magnet to a live link your leads can open. That link is what campaigns and post comments point at. Your name is on it, which is exactly why it waits for your tap like everything else.
When it does not work
If the preview cannot load, the app says so and offers Try again. And when a draft's own file has genuinely gone missing, the Approve button disappears with it: you will never be asked to sign off on something nobody can see. A published magnet stays changeable too; ask for the edit in the chat and approve the new version.
The chart, the timeframes, and numbers that stay honest either way.
Month three always asks the same question: is any of this landing? The card in your app, titled “What your posts did”, answers with your own numbers, plainly.
Each point is a post. Tap one and its day and counts appear under the curve.
Reading the chart
Every point is one post, and its height is the reactions and replies that post earned. Tap a point and the caption names the day, the likes, the comments, the reposts. Under the curve sit the totals: how many posts, how much response, the average per post.
Timeframes
The pills above the chart widen the view: 30 days, 90 days, all of it. A pill only appears once there is history behind it, so in week three you will see fewer choices than in month six. That is deliberate. Two views of the same six posts teach nothing.
"Checked" times
The card says when the numbers were last read, like "checked 07:45". Reactions arriving right now can take until the next check to show up. The number you see is a real reading with a time on it, never a live-looking guess.
When it does not work
Some weeks the curve dips, and the card says so with the same plain face it wears in a good week. No vanity framing, no cherry-picked windows, no quiet promises about reach. And when nothing went out in a window, the chart is empty and says exactly that, with the way to change it sitting one lesson back: approve more posts.
Its memory of you, the gaps it admits, and why your corrections are gold.
Every draft leans on what your studio knows about you. This card shows that memory honestly: what it holds, what is thin, and what is missing.
The memory, with its gaps showing. The gaps are the honest part.
The four areas
Your voice decides how every draft sounds.
Your buyers decide who outreach speaks to.
Your offer decides what posts point at.
Proof and stories decide what claims can be backed.
Each carries a state: held, thin, or not captured. "Not captured" means your drafts run without that fuel, and filling it is usually two minutes of talking in the chat.
When two things disagree
Tell it in March that you serve agencies, then tell it in August that you left agency work behind, and the card shows both lines and asks which is true now. When a conflict is surfaced, answer in the chat and ask the studio to confirm the current version. If you notice a contradiction yourself, raise it even if the card has not flagged it.
Corrections are gold
"I never say thrilled." "We stopped doing audits." "My buyer is the COO, never the founder." Ask the studio to save each correction as a standing preference and confirm what it recorded. Check the next draft: a saved preference can still be applied imperfectly.
The weekly line
Once a week, your studio tells you what it learned about your preferences, in a short plain list in your chat. Read it. It is the mirror of every correction you made, and the fastest way to catch a wrong lesson before it settles in.
When it does not work
A remembered fact can outlive its truth, and you may meet it in a draft before the card ever asks. Say it in the chat the moment you spot it. Ask for both changes: update the saved knowledge and fix the current draft. Also check work already queued; changing a preference does not mean every existing draft has been rewritten.
Connect posting, outreach and Google, and check what is ready.
The Connected card shows what your studio is linked to. Posting, outreach and Google have different jobs, and each needs the appropriate setup.
Check your own account and connection details. This illustration shows the core card.
LinkedIn posting
During setup, you receive a connection link for Postiz, the service used to publish your approved posts. In your app, this connection shows as “LinkedIn”, not “Postiz”. Sign in to the intended LinkedIn account and complete the connection. The team then confirms that the correct posting account is assigned to your studio.
Connecting an account does not publish anything. Your posts still go through review and approval.
LinkedIn outreach
Outreach uses a separate connection through HeyReach. Completing the posting link does not connect your outreach account. The team will guide you through this step if outreach is part of your setup.
Before a campaign starts, confirm the audience, the message copy and the sending action. A connected account and a campaign count alone do not prove that a campaign is running; check the Outreach card.
Google
Tap Connect Google in the app to open Google's permission screen. Use the account whose calendar and supported call notes you want your studio to read. Review the permissions shown before granting access.
The connection supports reading calendar information and available call material. Connecting Google does not mean every past call has a transcript available to the studio.
Check the account displayed in Connected. If it says the account is unknown, reconnect to make the account identity visible. You can revoke access in your Google account; the app offers reconnection when it detects that access has been removed.
Before your first working day
Confirm you can open your studio's Telegram chat and mini app.
Check that your intended LinkedIn posting account has been assigned.
If you will run outreach, confirm that its separate connection is ready.
Connect Google if you want calendar and call context.
Share your offer, target buyers, writing examples and any useful source material. Ask what the studio has captured and what is still missing.
You can complete an account connection before the rest of your studio is ready. Wait for the team to confirm setup before expecting scheduled work to run.
The rest of the card
Intake email: your studio's intake address for briefs, testimonials and other material you want it to read.
Content feeds: the sources configured for your market reading.
LinkedIn: the posting account recorded for your studio.
Outreach: the campaign count, with campaign details in the Outreach card.
When it does not work
If a connection is missing or work fails, tell the studio which action failed and what the app shows. Posting and outreach may need separate reconnection steps. If Connect Google cannot open, the button offers another attempt. Never share passwords in the chat; use the service's own connection screen.
The honest states, what to say in the chat, and the people a message away.
This product's deepest habit is admitting things. This last lesson is the short list of what that honesty looks like on screen, and what to do when you meet it.
The honest states
"Offline. Showing the last saved view." The app could not reach your studio, so it shows the last true picture it has and says so in a banner. Nothing on the screen is invented to fill the gap.
A stale digest names its age. If your morning read is from Friday, the card says it is from Friday and that today's is unwritten. Ask in the chat, "refresh my digest", and a current one is written.
"Could not load." Some screens fail. The app says which one, keeps your work, and offers Try again.
A missing draft loses its button. When a draft's own file cannot be read, Approve disappears with it. You will never be asked to sign off on something nobody can see.
Fig. 06 · The honest statesSilence is never one of them
Say it in the chat
Whatever feels off, the chat is the whole repair kit. No ticket, no form, no status page.
"This sounds wrong."
"Stop the Thursday post."
"Why is my queue empty today?"
"Refresh my digest."
"Something looks broken."
Your studio acts on all of these straight away. And when it cannot fix a thing itself, it says exactly that, instead of going quiet.
A person is a message away
Behind your studio is Atlas, the team that built it and runs it. Ask for a person in the same chat, in any words, and one turns up. The people whose names are on the thing read that chat.
The end of the course
That is all twelve lessons. Your studio drafts, researches, follows up, and keeps the record. You read, decide, and tap. Everything else, you now know where to ask.
