Deep Dive

How It Works

Telecord works in conjunction with discord-chat-exporter-cli. First, you export your Discord messages to a JSON file with media attachments. Then Telecord parses the JSON, uploads media files to Telegram, and sends messages one-by-one to your specified chat. You can control the delay between messages to avoid rate limiting and even reverse the order to send newest messages first.

Interactive Mode

The interactive mode provides a guided experience where you're prompted step-by-step for all required information: JSON file path, media folder, Telegram bot token, chat ID, message delay, and preferences for message order and logging. This makes the tool accessible even if you're not familiar with CLI tools.
