Designed for better message forwarding in Telegram.
Forward users' messages to topics in the group. Each user corresponds to a topic.
- Privacy: Admins' accounts are not exposed.
- Flexibility: Each user corresponds to an independent topic, and the experience is almost the same as private chat.
- Teamwork: Multiple admins can handle users' messages.
- Multi-language: Supports multiple languages, including English and Chinese.
- Auto Response: Automatically replies to users' messages with predefined messages, and supports detection with regex.
- Create a bot from @BotFather and get the token.
- Create a group with topics, and add the bot as an admin.
- Get the group ID. This step can be done by inviting @tg_get_userid_bot to the group. For privacy reason, remember to remove it after getting the group ID.
- Deploy BetterForward to a server.
Any messages sent to the bot will be forwarded to the corresponding topic in the group.
