That's forbidden by Telegram's Terms of Service (even if many bots do it anyways).
Are you sure @Steffo99? I couldn't find where it says it's forbidden.
I did find this in Telegram's Bot FAQ: https://core.telegram.org/bots/faq#how-can-i-message-all-of-my-bot-39s-subscribers-at-once
They say that they might offer the feature to do so themselves, and they even provide some advice on how to do it to avoid their messaging limits:
In order to avoid hitting our limits when sending out mass notifications, consider spreading them over longer intervals, e.g. 8-12 hours. The API will not allow bulk notifications to more than ~30 users per second, if you go over that, you'll start getting 429 errors.
Could you please reconsider this feature request? 🙏
Huh! Seems like they changed their stance on it, that was the same page I remember reading a while ago!
Thanks for the notice! :sweat_smile:
(I don't think I'll have time to implement it any time soon, but I'm up for a pull request!)
Describe the proposed feature
I think it would be nice to send a message to all users with updates or marketing content.
Reasoning
Can generate more sales for the people using this bot
