Settings Schema

When creating a post for Telegram, use the following settings schema: 
{
  "settings": {
    "__type": "telegram"
  }
}
Telegram has no provider-specific settings beyond __type. The destination chat or channel is determined by the connected integration, not the settings block. Post content, images, and the schedule are configured at the post level - see the Create Post reference.
