Telegram bot forwarding message error
Raw
soln.md

A bot that I was working on needed to forward messages. Following Telegram's api to forward a message, my code looked like this

botSendFunctions.forwardMessage(bot, chat_id, "@bliz937", update.message.message_id)

I would receive the following error: TelegramError: [Error]: Bad Request: channel not found

Contacting the helpful @BotSupport, they pointed out to me that for users, I needed to provide an id.
