Since @iammarco11 figured out that a telegram channel can't be flexible enough to serve out needs, my suggestion is to use the telegram bot itself, instead of public service from the bot as a how channel would have served, it would be a bit stricter option where users have to activate the bot in order to keep receiving the tweets.

The workflow idea:

  1. We keep the twitter bot keep running, which scrapes all the tweets, tweet id etc which is needed.
  2. Have a telegram bot, for instance, NaWab bot. When /start is initiated at the bot, the bot can read/look at the most recent tweets scraped by the twitter bot and start sending it to the telegram bot. This can be done either by providing APIs from twitter scraping script we have, or either can read tid_store. An API to read tid_store would be the ideal way to proceed.
  3. Add retweet inline keyboard option in telegram bot for admin specific use only.
  4. We can customize and personalise the telegram bot as the above proceeds.

Let me know if there is any more questions.
