Adding chats and permissions

You can add a chat in two ways: with the panel buttons (recommended), or when you make the bot an admin in Telegram. When you add the bot to a chat, the bot registers the chat automatically. The chat then shows in the panel.

Chat	Necessary permission	If the permission is missing
Source channel	Admin status	The bot does not get the posts
Target channel	Post messages, Edit messages	The route gives an error. Edit sync does not work.
Target group	Member status	—
Channel with service message cleanup on	Delete messages	The bot does not delete the notices. The panel shows the missing permission.
Group with moderation	Delete messages, Ban users	Deletion, mute and verification do not work

Ownership: A chat belongs to one workspace only. If the owner (creator) of the group adds the bot from a different workspace, the chat moves to that workspace. The previous owner gets a notification.

Removing the bot: Panel → Chats → chat → "Remove bot". We delete the data of that chat within 30 days.
