So I’m trying to get a bot from a channel to forward its messages to my private channel. But I keep getting this message and I have no idea where to change this

I have checked both channel settings and the telegram setting.

This is the message I keep getting:

“Disable UserTransmission so bot can send files to users!”

I tried to upload a picture but for some unknown reason, Lemmy won’t let me.

    hm odd, can you tell me more ? how are you forwarding the message, are you automating or doing it manually ? are you hosting the bot yourself ? and since you couldn’t upload the image here, could you upload it postimages or similar and just link here ?

    there just isn’t information, but this is likely an issue with the bot itself.

    Edit: if you’re using the bot I think you’re using, there should be a line in config.env USER_TRANSMISSION = "False" try changing that to USER_TRANSMISSION = "True"

        it should be in config.env file. it needs to be changed on the server, you can’t do it through telegram. and sorry, I forgot to mention where it is before

      I’m not the one hosting it, another person is. The particular person mentioned we need to make the bot send the files to our own private channel. To do that was needed to it manually ‘’/usetting’’ and then do the steps.

      I done all the steps and when, I want to do it the bot only gives me exactly that message. Here’s the screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/zBGdVq2w/Screenshot-1.png
