Tips & Tricks,
for power users.

If you want The Feed Reader Bot to send messages from a Telegram public channel to another channel or group, use the Telegram bridge on http://bridge.thefeedreaderbot.com.

1. Open the Telegram bridge.
2. Type the channel name in the Username field and click Generate Feed.
3. Click Copy command, then paste the command in the bot chat window.

If you want the bot to send messages from a Telegram private channel, an 18+ channel, or a channel restricted in some countries, you must be the owner of the channel.

1. Add the Premium or Elite bot to your channel administrators.
2. In the Premium or Elite bot, type /channel, choose Configure a new channel, then select your channel.
3. Type the command indicated by the bot.
4. Type /template and open the template page.
5. Select your channel in the top dropdown list and add a new template.
6. Name it _save_messages_.
7. Click Insert. The bot will now save the messages sent to this channel.
8. To generate the feed from these messages, get the channel identifier: forward any message from your channel to @JsonDumpBot, then look for forward_origin or forward_from_chat. The identifier must begin with -100.
9. Open https://bridge2.thefeedreaderbot.com, scroll to the Telegram channel bridge, enter the channel identifier, and select whether you are a Premium or Elite subscriber.
10. Click Display, copy the command, then paste it in the bot chat window.

Premium and Elite subscribers can receive posts from Instagram accounts. To create an Instagram feed, open Bridge2, scroll to the Instagram bridge, and enter the account you want the bot to follow. Other bridges exist, using different websites, with various refresh rates.

1. Enter the Instagram account in Bridge2.
2. Click Display.
3. Copy the command and paste it in the bot chat window.

Elite subscribers can manually approve messages before sending them to a group or channel.

1. Enter the identifier of a channel in the Approval channel ID template setting, in the Exclude/Include section.
2. To retrieve a channel identifier, forward any message from the channel to the bot, then type /id.
3. Messages are sent to the approval channel, where you can approve them manually or schedule them.

If you do not want similar messages to be sent by the bot, use the similarity feature.

Use the /download command followed by a URL to download videos and photos.
