I'm working on a messaging system where I need to copy messages from forum topics to users using the Telegram API. According to the official Telegram documentation, in CopyMessage request there's only one message_thread_id key, which seems to be working only for copying messages from users to forum topics, not the other way around. How can I use the Telegram API to copy messages from forum topics to users, given that the message_thread_id key seems to work only for user-to-topic messages? Any help or insights into this would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a sample JSON request for copying a message:
{
"chat_id": 1106660938,
"message_thread_id": 2,
"from_chat_id": "-1002213908537",
"message_id": 32
}
In this structure:
this request(if all data is correct) result in 400 stating: Bad Request: message thread not found
Additional Information:
Thank you in advance for your help!
Actually, you don't have to specify the message_thread_id
if you are copying the message to a private chat.
The from_chat_id
and the message_id
can be together used to uniquely identify the message inside the Forum topic.
So you just need to call the copyMessage
method with these parameters:
{
"chat_id": 1106660938,
"from_chat_id": -1002213908537,
"message_id": 32
}
It's because private chats don't have threads. The message_thread_id
is considered only for the destination chat. Since, the destination chat (specified with the chat_id
) is of a user's private chat with the bot it do not have threads. Hence, raising the error:
400: Bad Request: message thread not found
Hope this helps :)
