Features

Click here to skip to installing the project

• For every user who sends a message to the bot, a dedicated topic is created, allowing you to communicate with them directly, just like in a regular Telegram chat.

• Each message sent to the bot is forwarded to the topic associated with the user. And vice versa - every message sent in the group on a subject associated with the user - is transmitted to him in a secure manner so that he does not know who sent the original message

• If a user edits their message, the message will also be edited in the linked topic, and a button will be added indicating that the message has been edited. On the other hand, if an admin edits their message in the group, the message will be edited in the linked chat, but the user will not know that the message was edited.

• If a user deletes his message, the bot will send a message in the group that the user has deleted this message

• If a user sends a message Forward with quotes, it will be forwarded to the group with the credit. In contrast, if an admin sends a message Forward with quotes, it will be forwarded to the user without the credit.

• If a user sends a message with buttons, the buttons will be automatically copied, but if there are non-url buttons in the message, they will not be copied.

• You can send any type of message to the bot!

• The identities of the admins in the group are kept secret, and no one can know who the admins are. On the other hand, admins have various tools to identify the users they communicate with.

• Users in the management group can block users or release them from blocking.

• Users in the management group can protect the messages sent in the group or cancel the message protection.

• Users in the management group can delete messages sent to users.

• Send a message to all users in the bot.
