So What Im trying to accomplish is a bot that forwards messages from one specific user to one specific group chat. I started my testing by using my own chat_id and the bot perfectly forwards my messages to the right groupchat.

The problem is tho, that I want to forward messages that I receive from a bot. So I am trying to gather the chat_id between this bot and my bot but I can't get my head around how I should send and/or receive a message from this bot to gather said chat_id because I cant use it's @username in a /sendMessage? URL.

Why doesn't my bot see messages from other bots?
Bots talking to each other could potentially get stuck in unwelcome loops. To avoid this, we decided that bots will not be able to see messages from other bots regardless of mode.

  • Thank you very much for the reply, I guess I missed it when reading the FAQ earlier. So as a follow-up question: is it possible to create a system that forwards the messages *I* receive or perhaps a system that automatically forwards the messages *I* receive to my bot – koolmees Mar 05 '18 at 10:58
