Channel Monitor (Watch External Telegram Channels)

Monitor Telegram channels where OmniGest is not a member (e.g. @chollometro, @chollodeportes) and get a private preview every time they post an AliExpress or Amazon deal. Convert the link to your affiliate tag with one tap and publish to your own channel or group.

What problem does it solve

Deal channels in Telegram publish 5-20 products/day. If you want to curate them for your audience with your own affiliate tag, you need to:

  1. Know when they publish.
  2. Convert the link.
  3. Get the product image (without the source channel's watermark).
  4. Publish to your channel.

Channel Monitor automates 1-3 and lets you do step 4 with a single tap.

How it works at a glance

  1. OmniGest scrapes the channels you pick, once per hour.
  2. When it finds a post with an AliExpress or Amazon URL, it:
  3. Converts the URL to your affiliate tag.
  4. Fetches the official product image from the marketplace API (never the source channel's watermarked image).
  5. Overlays your @OmniGest watermark on the corner.
  6. You receive a DM with the preview and 4 buttons: [📢 Destination 1] [👥 Destination 2] [✏️ Edit] [🗑 Ignore]
  7. Tap the button for the destination you want → OmniGest publishes it there with your tag.
