I'm getting the "You have reached your plan limit" message, but the number of alerts I have is less than my plan limit, why?

Instead of just deactivating the Alert, you need to delete it completely. To do so, go to https://rss.app/integrations and click the Trash icon next to the Alert you want to remove.


The bot isn't posting new posts, what should I do?

Make sure the bot has administrator permissions in your channel or group. Check out our Troubleshooting Alerts article for more details.


I can't add the bot to the server, why?

I don’t see my channel when creating an alert, why?

Remove the bot from your channel and add it again. Make sure you add the bot using the same Telegram account that is linked to your RSS.app account. If the issue persists, please reach out to support for assistance.


How long does it take for the bot to send a new post?

Once a new post is added to the feed (based on your plan's Refresh Rate), the bot should send it to your channel or group within a minute, depending on Telegram's API load.


How many posts are sent when Alerts are initially set up?

When Alerts are first set up, we only send the last 3 posts.


Can the bot send old posts?
