The Templates & Media Library serves as a centralized management system for reusable content within the TelePilot ecosystem. It allows users to save, organize, and reuse message templates and media assets across various bot functionalities, including broadcasting, scheduled posting, and automated responses.
This module provides a unified interface for handling diverse media types, including photos, videos, documents, and polls. By decoupling message content from specific delivery tasks, it enables consistent messaging and efficient asset management for large-scale Telegram operations.

Content Workflow
The Templates & Media Library functions as a repository that feeds into the broadcasting and scheduling engines. When a user creates a broadcast or a scheduled post, they select assets from this library.
The diagram illustrates how the centralized library provides assets to various distribution modules.

Technical Implementation Details
While the library manages high-level content, the underlying bot infrastructure handles the actual transmission of these assets using the Telegram API.
Media Handling Logic
The system supports full media integration for broadcasting and scheduling. The delivery engine processes different media types through the telegram_api utility, which manages the POST requests to the Telegram servers.
The sequence shows the flow of an asset from selection in the library to final delivery via the API.

Placeholder System
Templates utilize a dynamic placeholder system to personalize content at the moment of delivery. This allows a single template to be customized for different recipients or channels.
{name}: Resolves to the recipient's first name.{username}: Resolves to the recipient's Telegram handle.{channel}: Resolves to the target channel name.
