Expected behavior
I am expecting to see the message forwarded.
Actual behavior
In the logs I get the "Invalid object ID for a chat" error because it didn't found the identity for the gruop via chat_id.
If I'm forwarding a message in the group manually then the code is executed perfectly.

Other details
I am developing a userbot that among the other things spams its advertise in over 100 groups every 4-6 hour so I cannot have the possibility to interact manually with each group...
I also saw this post (#4345) but I don't know how I can implement it in my code, I'm kinda new on Python and Telethon, sorry in advance.
