BroadcastManager

High-Performance Telegram Broadcast Manager for MadelineProto. Manage Telegram broadcasts efficiently: send text, media, albums, inline buttons, pin/unpin messages, delete broadcasts, edit broadcast, schedule broadcasts, run self-destruct deletion jobs, and track live progress.

Requirements

PHP 8.2 or newer
danog/madelineproto ^8.4
amphp/amp ^3.0

Installation

composer require wizardloop/broadcastmanager

Include Composer autoload:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Create the manager with your MadelineProto API instance:

use BroadcastTool\BroadcastManager;

$manager = new BroadcastManager($api);

Optional custom data directory:

BroadcastManager::setDataDir(__DIR__ . '/data'); // default: __DIR__ . '/../data'

Features

Concurrent broadcasts with safe concurrency clamping.
Live progress message updates.
Pause, resume, and cancel by broadcast id.
Text, media, albums, entities, and inline buttons.
Optional pinning of the last message sent to each peer.
Delete last broadcast or all saved broadcast messages.
Edit the last saved broadcast message for each peer.
Scheduled broadcasts persisted to disk.
Self-destruct broadcasts with automatic deletion after 0 to 48 hours.
Per-broadcast metadata in data/broadcasts/{broadcastId}.json.
FLOOD_WAIT retry handling and hard-fail handling.
Internal error log at data/broadcast-errors.log.

Basic Broadcast

$users = ['123456789', '987654321'];

$messages = [
    [
        'message' => '<b>Hello subscribers</b>',
        'parse_mode' => 'HTML',
    ],
];

$broadcastId = $manager->broadcastWithProgress(
    allUsers: $users,
    messages: $messages,
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    pin: false,
    concurrency: 10
);

broadcastWithProgress() returns a string id. Use it with progress(), pause(), resume(), and cancel().

$progress = $manager->progress($broadcastId);

Concurrency is clamped internally:

Minimum: 1
Maximum: 50
Default: 20
Recommended examples: 10

Message Payloads

Broadcast messages are passed directly to MadelineProto send methods with peer added internally.

Text message

$messages = [
    [
        'message' => '<b>Hello</b>',
        'parse_mode' => 'HTML',
    ],
];

Inline buttons

$messages = [
    [
        'message' => 'Click a button below:',
        'buttons' => [
            [['text' => 'Visit Website', 'url' => 'https://example.com']],
            [['text' => 'Start', 'callback_data' => 'start_action']],
        ],
    ],
];

buttons is converted to reply_markup internally for sending.

Media message

$messages = [
    [
        'message' => 'Photo caption',
        'media' => [
            '_' => 'inputMediaUploadedPhoto',
            'file' => '/path/to/photo.jpg',
        ],
        'parse_mode' => 'HTML',
    ],
];

When a message has media, BroadcastManager uses messages->sendMedia(). Otherwise it uses messages->sendMessage().

Album message

If a message contains albumFile, BroadcastManager reads that JSON file and sends it with messages->sendMultiMedia() in chunks of 10.

$messages = [
    [
        'albumFile' => __DIR__ . '/album.json',
    ],
];

Example album.json item:

[
  {
    "media": {
      "type": "photo",
      "botApiFileId": "AgACAgQAAxkBA..."
    },
    "caption": "Album caption",
    "entities": []
  }
]

Supported album media types are mapped to inputMediaPhoto and inputMediaDocument.

Progress

$progress = $manager->progress($broadcastId);

if ($progress !== null) {
    echo "Progress: {$progress['progressPercent']}%\n";
    echo "Success: {$progress['success']}\n";
    echo "Failed: {$progress['failed']}\n";
    echo "Pending: {$progress['pending']}\n";
}

progress() returns array|null:

[
    'processed' => 0,
    'success' => 0,
    'failed' => 0,
    'pending' => 0,
    'flood' => 0,
    'progressPercent' => 0.0,
    'breakdown' => [
        'sent' => 0,
        'deleted' => 0,
        'unpin' => 0,
        'edited' => 0,
        'unchanged' => 0,
        'scheduled' => 0,
    ],
    'edited' => 0,
    'unchanged' => 0,
    'scheduled' => 0,
    'selfDestruct' => null,
    'type' => 'send',
    'total' => 0,
    'elapsed' => 0.0,
    'tps' => 0.0,
    'done' => false,
    'paused' => false,
    'cancel' => false,
    'startedAt' => null,
]

Control Running Operations

$manager->pause($broadcastId);
$manager->resume($broadcastId);
$manager->cancel($broadcastId);

cancel() only marks the operation as cancelled. It does not clear in-flight Telegram requests.

Check operation state:

$manager->isActive($broadcastId);
$manager->isPaused($broadcastId);
$manager->isCancelled($broadcastId);

Pause, resume, cancel, and progress work with send/edit/delete/unpin operations that have a live state id.

Pin And Unpin

Pin the last message sent to each peer:

$broadcastId = $manager->broadcastWithProgress(
    allUsers: $users,
    messages: $messages,
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    pin: true,
    concurrency: 10
);

Unpin all messages for all peers:

$unpinId = $manager->unpinAllMessagesForAll($users, $adminChatId, 10);

Delete Broadcast Messages

Delete the last saved broadcast message for each peer using data/{peer}/lastBroadcast.txt:

$deleteId = $manager->deleteLastBroadcastForAll($users, $adminChatId, 10);

Delete the last message from a specific broadcast using data/broadcasts/{broadcastId}.json:

$deleteId = $manager->deleteLastBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: $users,
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    concurrency: 10,
    broadcastId: $broadcastId
);

If you pass an empty allUsers array with broadcastId, peers are loaded from that broadcast metadata:

$deleteId = $manager->deleteLastBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: [],
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    concurrency: 10,
    broadcastId: $broadcastId
);

When broadcastId is provided, the legacy lastBroadcast.txt file is not used and is not removed. This prevents a newer broadcast from being affected by an older delete request.

Delete all saved broadcast messages for each peer using data/{peer}/messages.txt:

$deleteAllId = $manager->deleteAllBroadcastsForAll($users, $adminChatId, 10);

Check whether legacy saved message files exist:

$hasLast = $manager->hasLastBroadcast();
$hasAll = $manager->hasAllBroadcast();

Edit Last Broadcast

editLastBroadcastForAll() reads each peer's data/{peer}/lastBroadcast.txt and edits that message id by default.

$editId = $manager->editLastBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: $users,
    newText: '<b>Updated text</b>',
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    buttons: null,
    media: null,
    concurrency: 10,
    parseMode: 'HTML'
);

Edit the last message from a specific broadcast using data/broadcasts/{broadcastId}.json:

$editId = $manager->editLastBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: $users,
    newText: '<b>Updated text for a specific broadcast</b>',
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    buttons: null,
    media: null,
    concurrency: 10,
    parseMode: 'HTML',
    broadcastId: $broadcastId
);

If you pass an empty allUsers array with broadcastId, peers are loaded from that broadcast metadata:

$editId = $manager->editLastBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: [],
    newText: '<b>Updated text for the stored broadcast peers</b>',
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    buttons: null,
    media: null,
    concurrency: 10,
    parseMode: 'HTML',
    broadcastId: $broadcastId
);

With buttons:

$editId = $manager->editLastBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: $users,
    newText: 'Updated with a button',
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    buttons: [
        [['text' => 'Open', 'url' => 'https://example.com']],
    ],
    media: null,
    concurrency: 10,
    parseMode: 'HTML'
);

Edit counters include:

edited
unchanged
failed
flood

MESSAGE_NOT_MODIFIED is counted as unchanged, not failed.

Scheduled Broadcasts

Scheduled broadcasts are saved in data/scheduled-broadcasts.json.

$scheduleId = $manager->scheduleBroadcastForAll(
    allUsers: $users,
    messages: [
        ['message' => 'Scheduled hello'],
    ],
    scheduledAt: time() + 3600,
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    pin: false,
    concurrency: 10,
    selfDestructHours: null
);

If scheduledAt is in the future, the broadcast is saved and not sent yet. If scheduledAt <= time(), it is marked running, executed immediately, and then marked done, cancelled, or failed.

Run due scheduled broadcasts periodically:

$results = $manager->runDueScheduledBroadcasts();

List scheduled broadcasts:

$scheduled = $manager->listScheduledBroadcasts();

Cancel a scheduled broadcast that has not started:

$cancelled = $manager->cancelScheduledBroadcast($scheduleId);

cancelScheduledBroadcast() returns false once the job is already running, done, cancelled, or failed.

Self-Destruct Broadcasts

Pass selfDestructHours as the sixth argument to broadcastWithProgress().

$broadcastId = $manager->broadcastWithProgress(
    allUsers: $users,
    messages: [
        ['message' => 'This message will be removed later.'],
    ],
    chatId: $adminChatId,
    pin: false,
    concurrency: 10,
    selfDestructHours: 6
);

Rules:

null means no automatic deletion.
0 means delete immediately after the broadcast finishes.
1 through 48 means delete after that many hours.

Invalid values below 0 or above 48 throw InvalidArgumentException.

Run due self-destruct jobs periodically:

$results = $manager->runDueSelfDestructJobs();

List self-destruct jobs:

$jobs = $manager->listSelfDestructJobs();

Cancel a self-destruct job that has not started:

$cancelled = $manager->cancelSelfDestructJob($jobId);

Self-destruct deletes by data/broadcasts/{broadcastId}.json, not by lastBroadcast.txt. If a newer broadcast was sent later, the self-destruct job still deletes only the messages from its own broadcast id.

If a broadcast is cancelled midway, the self-destruct job is created only for messages that were actually sent and saved in metadata.

Periodic Runners

Scheduled broadcasts and self-destruct jobs are durable, but they run only when you call the runners. Call them from your bot loop, event handler, or internal cron-style task:

$manager->runDueScheduledBroadcasts();
$manager->runDueSelfDestructJobs();

Filter Peers

$filterSub = $manager->filterPeers($users, 'users');

$targets = $filterSub['targets']; // array
$failed = $filterSub['failed'];   // int
$total = $filterSub['total'];     // int

Supported filter types:

users
groups
channels
all

Last Broadcast Data

lastBroadcastData() returns the latest saved status text from data/LastBrodDATA.txt, or false if it does not exist.

$lastData = $manager->lastBroadcastData();

Data Files

Legacy files are still written for backward compatibility:

data/{peer}/lastBroadcast.txt
data/{peer}/messages.txt
data/LastBrodDATA.txt

New files:

data/broadcasts/{broadcastId}.json
data/scheduled-broadcasts.json
data/self-destruct-jobs.json
data/broadcast-errors.log

Example broadcast metadata:

{
  "id": "2b9a24c5ef2cbb10",
  "type": "send",
  "createdAt": 1710000000,
  "status": "done",
  "total": 100,
  "sent": 90,
  "failed": 10,
  "peers": {
    "12345": {
      "lastMessageId": 111,
      "messageIds": [111, 112],
      "status": "sent"
    }
  },
  "selfDestruct": {
    "enabled": true,
    "hours": 6,
    "deleteAt": 1710021600,
    "deleteJobId": "selfdestruct_..."
  }
}

Error Handling

Hard-fail Telegram RPC errors are counted as failed and are not retried. FLOOD_WAIT errors increase the job attempt count, set a future retry time, and are retried up to three attempts.

Internal logging is written to:

data/broadcast-errors.log

Log write failures are ignored so they do not crash the bot.
