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.
