Add telegram bot to channel/group using telegram api methods

[ParthShah0411]

Hello, I want to add telegram bot into channel/group whenever requested. I've tried almost all the different methods using which I can add user to the chat/group/channel but still not able to figure it out. hoping to get response here.

The function method I mostly got after looking in google was InviteToChannel but not sure how to pass bot id so that it doesn't give me error RPCError: 400: USER_BOT (caused by channels.InviteToChannel)

Code :

const addBott = await client.invoke(
new Api.channels.InviteToChannel({
channel: -1001923158756,
users: ["test_bot"],
})
);

            &

const addBot = await client.invoke(
new Api.channels.InviteToChannel({
channel: -1001923168756,
users: [new Api.InputUser({ user_id: BigInt("6325799628") })],
})
);

PS: I've modified the values. Thanks!

I use this to add my bot as an admin to a channel that I created, it works fine.

        // make the bot an admin of the channel
        const makeAdmin: Api.TypeUpdates = await client.invoke(
          new Api.channels.EditAdmin({
            channel: new Api.InputChannel({
              channelId: channelId as bigInt.BigInteger,
              accessHash: accessHash as bigInt.BigInteger,
            }),
            userId: '@BotNameHere',
            adminRights: new Api.ChatAdminRights({
              changeInfo: true,
              postMessages: true,
              editMessages: true,
              deleteMessages: true,
              banUsers: true,
              inviteUsers: true,
              pinMessages: true,
              addAdmins: true,
              anonymous: false,
              manageCall: true,
              other: false,
            }),
            rank: 'Administrator',
          })
        );
        if (makeAdmin instanceof Api.Updates) {
          logger.info('Bot is now an admin of the channel');
        }
      }```

@davie-robertson @ParthShah0411 Hi guys!
I too am working on implementing a telegram bot for our purposes.
And I faced a little problem when I need to add a bot to a group I created or in which I am an admin.

Is there any way to add the bot to the groups via API ?
