I am going to be telling vs I am going to tell

The phrases are both acceptable, but they would be used in somewhat dissimilar contexts. 'I am going to be telling' is used when emphasizing the ongoing nature of the action, while 'I am going to tell' is more straightforward and direct. The choice between them depends on the nuance you want to convey.
