• REMOVE_TAG - set to True if you want to remove the tag ("Forwarded from xxxxx") from the forwarded message.

chat_list.json

Template chat_list may be found in chat_list.sample.json. Rename it to chat_list.json.

This file contains the list of chats to forward messages from and to. The bot expect it to be an Array of objects with the following structure:

[
    {
        "source": -10012345678,
        "destination": [-10011111111, -10022222222]
    }
]

• source - The chat ID of the chat to forward messages from. It can be a group or a channel.
• destination - An array of chat IDs to forward messages to. It can be a group or a channel.

You may add as many objects as you want. The bot will forward messages from all the chats in the source field to all the chats in the destination field. Duplicates are allowed as it already handled by the bot.
