Forward messages from multiple Telegram channels to one of your own!

forwardgram's Issues

Override message

Is there a way to override (update) incoming messages before sending to my channel?

Feature Request (Non-Issue)

I am currently running this script and it seems to be working. Wanted to ask if you will allow the option to remove the text "forwarded from xxxxxx" so that it looks like a regular message submitted in the channel?

AttributeError: 'Chat' object has no attribute 'access_hash'

I have done everything correctly (i guess) but every time it throws this error.
Any clue what's wrong?

The console throws this error :

  File "forwardgram.py", line 49, in <module>
    start(config)
  File "forwardgram.py", line 24, in start
    output_channel_entities.append(InputChannel(d.entity.id, d.entity.access_hash))
AttributeError: 'Chat' object has no attribute 'access_hash'

Dockerize Forwardgram

Hey!

First of all, great job on Forwardgram! :)

I'm running Forwardgram on my Synology NAS right now with Docker :). The biggest reason for me being:

• I don't want to clutter with python on my NAS
• I want the container to restart automatically if my nas was down due to a power outage

However, when starting Forwardgram, you get this wizard thing that you have to do manually. Is there a way to work around this? I mean: it should be possible to just do this wizard once and reuse the credentials?

Kind regards,

Raf

Hello . I was using this robot until last year and there was no problem. But recently, every time I used this bot, Telegram blocked and deleted my account

Re-write messages to output channels ?

Hi, is there any way for the bot to "copy" the messages and send it to the output channels without having the "Forwarded message" included ? It's like anonymizing the source. Thank you !

It's listening to the 3 channels but whenever I get a message, it won't forward it to my other channel? Any solutions?

messages not forward in sequence

when the input channel put multi messages once
the message not forward in same sequence to output channel

example:

input channel send this multi messages once:
message then picture then file

output channel will be get like that:
message then file then picture
or
picture then file then message

is there a fix?

*this only happen if the input send multi messages once it's the same time

Hi,

Just installed your appication as a test, but I can't get it working . No idea what i'm doing wrong here :-)

python3 forwardgram.py config.yml-sample
  File "forwardgram.py", line 27
    logger.error(f"Could not find any output channels in the user's dialogs")

I just did a copy/paste from a Telegram Channel/Group it's name. Or should I work with Channel/Group ID's ?

This is my config file:

I don't even get to the point where I need to enter my phone number to authenticate against Telegram.

Any hint? Thanks!

Unify the message before sending out

Hi, thanks for providing this great script. Idon't want to forward all messages, just want to forward some messages with keyword "EURUSD" or "USDJPY", and because different channels has their own way to present the same thing, I have to unify the format before sending out. For example I got a message from channel A:
Sell EURUSD stoploss 1.123 takeprofit 1.223
And I got a message with different format from channel B:
SELL USDJPY STOPLOSS: 1.111 TAKEPROFIT 1.333
And I need to send the following message to the channel:
Sell EURUSD with stoploss at 1.123 and takeprofit at 1.223
Sell USDJPY with stoploss at 1.111 and takeprofit at 1.333
Where should I edit the code? Many thanks!

Use channel ID or link as input_channel

Hi there, thanks for providing this great script firstly.

I faced a problem when I use this script, some channels may change their names sometimes, and then I need to manually change that in the config file. So is that possible to use Channel Id or link in the config file as input channel.

Thanks for your helping.

Works for normal channel ID, but when i input Bot's channel ID, it is not working

Hi, any reason why when i input bot's id as the input, whatever message published by the bot will not be forwarded to the output channel?

Forwarding to more than one channel!

Hi!

First I'll like to thank you. It has worked perfectly for me. I had used other ways of achieving automatic forwarding, but finally this one is suitable for my needs.

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to forward to multiple or different channels, e.g. I'm part of 4 channels 1, 2, 3 & 4. And forward to two channels from which I'm an admin separating the sources:
Forwarded channel 1: Channels 1 & 2.
Forwarded channel 2: Channels 3 & 4.

I'm sure that can be achievable by making some modifications and maybe using some identifiers for the different channels, but I'm not pretty sure where to start.

Filter Type of Message

Hello, i want to know if is possible to filter the message and only send movies or photos with out text...
Thank you

limit per minute to the Forwarding

Hello, first of all, thanks for a good script. Could you please add a limit per minute to the Forwarding? Telegram will temporarily limit your account if you make more than 200 forwarding requests per minute. So I would like to perform delivery at less than 200 per minute, and I am wondering if there is any way. Thank you.

input_channel_names with emoji

Sorry I have another problem.
I am forwarding message from channel with names consist of emoji. At input_channel_names I use CLDR short name (something like :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: or :winking_face_with_tongue:)to represent emoji but look like it didn't work. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
