Hello, I have an announcement channel which I send webhooks to it and I want it to automatically send it to the servers that follows it without me having to click publish, how can I achieve that ?

If you want the publishing to be practically instant with respect to when they're posted, yes

What if the timing is not that important, is there another way around without using a bot ?

You could run some sort of cron job every few hours to fetch messages from that channel and publish each one that hasn't already been published, though that'd still require an app to at least be installed in that guild in order to have access to those messages
