How to add the bot to a telegram channel

[m11ad]

I successfully added the bot to a group because there was an option for it. But I don't see any option for a channel? How can I add the bot to a channel?

• The inline mode simply doesn't work, it will get stuck in loading when you mention the bot username in the input field

You have to manually edit your database.

I didn’t tested it, but try this:

• Add your bot to a group.
• Subscribe where you want your tweets from.
• Add your bot to a channel.
• Stop your bot.
• Open your database and replace the group id with the channel id.
• Restart bot.

Change the ids, if you want to change anything and then add the channel Id again.

There's no option in the code. Changing the DB manually as @Adem1987 explains is a way to do this. I'd accept a PR that allows to do this "in-band" via telegram, interacting with the bot :)
