About this plugin
CanalYar turns any WooCommerce product into a ready-made channel post — name, product code, price (with the old price struck through on sale), colors, attributes, your support ID and a buy link — and posts it with the product images to your channels on Telegram, Bale and Rubika, and as an Instagram post, story or both.
ir). Posts are delivered by the service’s bots, so you need a CanalYar account and connection key. New accounts get a free trial; after that, a paid plan is required.
See “External services” below for exactly what is sent.
What makes it different
Usually you have to create a bot for every messenger, paste its token into your site, and — if your server cannot reach Telegram — find a proxy too. CanalYar needs none of that:
- The bot is ours. You only make our bot an admin of your channel.
- No token ever enters your site, so there is nothing to leak.
- No access problems. Our server reaches all the messengers and Instagram; your server does not have to.
One post, not many
Telegram and Bale receive the images as an album with the text as its caption, so every product is a single post. Rubika has no albums, so the main image goes with the text.
It runs by itself
- Auto send: every product published for the first time is sent to the channels you choose about a minute later.
- Scheduling and queue: send a post at a set day and hour, or add it to a queue that posts at a fixed gap within the hours you allow.
- Posts stay current: when a price changes, the channel posts are edited; a product that sells out gets an “Out of stock” label or is removed.
Send anything, not only products
On the Send message tab you can post your own text to the channels, alone or with up to 10 images (an album), a file (PDF, ZIP, …), a song (MP3/M4A, with a music player) or a video (MP4), picked from the media library — up to 30 MB.
One account, with or without WordPress
ir you can add channels and send text, images, files, music and video from any browser, with no website at all. The plugin adds what only WooCommerce access makes possible — posts built from products, auto send, scheduling and prices kept current. Channels, quota and reports are shared between the panel and the plugin, and developers can use the same key with the REST API.
Channel ownership check
Because the bot is shared, “the bot is an admin” is not enough. When you add a channel, a six-digit code is posted in that channel and you enter it in the dashboard. Until you do, nothing is posted there — so nobody else can post to your channel.
Languages
The plugin is in English with a full Persian (fa_IR) translation included. Channel posts are written in your site’s language, even when your own dashboard language is different.
External services
ir. ir/bot-relay/v1, and the service delivers it to the messengers with its own bots.
What is sent, and when:
- Your connection key — with every request, to identify your site.
- Account status — when you open the CanalYar settings page or the send window, the plugin asks for your plan, usage and channels (cached for 5 minutes). Only the key is sent.
- Channels — when you add, verify, test or remove a channel: the messenger, the channel username or ID, the verification code, and (for a test message) your site name.
- Posts — when you send a product (by hand, by auto send, on a schedule or from the queue): the post text, the target channels, the image mode and the product images (as file uploads).
- Messages — when you send a message from the “Send message” tab: the text, the target channels and the attachment you picked from the media library (images, or one file, song or video, as a file upload).
- Post updates — when a sent product’s price or stock changes (if you turned this on): the channel, the message IDs and the new text, or a delete request.
- Instagram — for an Instagram account connected in the CanalYar panel, the same post data plus the post/story choice, the product page link (for the story link sticker), the product name and category (story headline and highlight name). The Instagram account itself is connected in the CanalYar panel, never through this plugin; the service then publishes to Instagram on your behalf. Instagram’s terms apply: https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870
No customer or order data is ever sent. The service passes post text, images and files on to the messengers and deletes the uploaded images and files after sending; it keeps request logs (time, messenger, status, size, error) for troubleshooting and usage counting.
On some plans, the service adds a short “Sent by CanalYar” line to channel posts. Nothing is added to your website.
