Bot doesn't have permission to send messages

Publication in Telegram is done via a bot. To send messages and media content, it must be an admin of the channel with the necessary permissions.

Possible reasons

  • The channel owner has restricted the bot's permissions.
  • The bot is not an admin or doesn't have permission to send messages and media content.

What to do?

  1. Open Telegram and go to the channel.
  2. Go to "Settings" → "Administrators."
  3. Find the bot and enable permissions to send messages and media.
  4. If the bot isn't there, add it as an admin.
