Channel Comments Forwarding
The Channel Comments Forwarding Addon allows Auto Forward Messages to automatically forward comments from posts in a Telegram source channel.
Overview
The Channel Comments Forwarding Addon allows Auto Forward Messages to automatically forward comments from posts in a Telegram source channel.
Instead of sending comments as unrelated messages, the addon preserves their relationship with the original post:
Source Post → Forwarded Target Post
Source Comment → Reply to the corresponding Target Post
This makes it possible to synchronize both channel content and the discussions around it.
How Telegram Channel Comments Work
Telegram channel comments are powered by a Discussion Group linked to the channel.
Your Telegram setup needs to follow this structure:
Source Channel ↓ Linked Discussion Group ↓ Post Discussion / Comments
When a Discussion Group is linked to a channel, Telegram creates a discussion thread for channel posts. Messages inside these threads appear as comments underneath the corresponding channel post.
Therefore, a Discussion Group must first be linked to your source channel before the addon can detect channel comments.
Step 1 — Create Your Source Channel
If you don't already have a source channel:
Open Telegram.
Select New Channel.
Enter your channel name and details.
Choose Public or Private.
Finish creating the channel.
Make sure your Telegram account has the necessary administrator permissions for the channel.
Step 2 — Create a Discussion Group
Next, create a Telegram group that will handle the discussions for your channel.
Go to:
Telegram → New Group
Create a group, for example:
My Channel Discussion
This group will later be linked to your Source Channel.
You don't need to manually forward posts to this group. Telegram handles the relationship automatically after the group is linked.
Step 3 — Link the Discussion Group to the Source Channel
Open your Source Channel and navigate to:
Channel Info → Edit / Manage Channel → Discussion
Select:
Add a Group
Then select the Discussion Group created in the previous step.
Your structure should now be:
Source Channel → Discussion Group
Once successfully linked, Telegram can display comments underneath posts in your channel.
Step 4 — Verify Channel Comments
Publish a new test post after linking the Discussion Group.
You should see a comment option underneath the post, such as:
💬 Leave a comment
Once users start commenting, it may appear as:
💬 3 Comments
Open the discussion and send a test comment.
For example:
Channel Post
🚀 New update is available!
Comment
↳ Amazing update! 🔥
If you can see the comment underneath the source post, your Telegram Discussion Group is configured correctly.
Step 5 — Enable the Channel Comments Forwarding Addon
The comment forwarding functionality is provided through the separate Channel Comments Forwarding Addon.
Make sure the addon is active on your account.
Then configure your forwarding task normally:
Source: Source Channel Target: Target Channel / Group
Enable Channel Comments Forwarding for the task if the option is available in its settings.
Important: The Discussion Group itself does not need to be configured as your normal forwarding source. Keep the Channel as the Source.
The addon will handle the relationship between the source channel post and its discussion comments.
Step 6 — How Comments Are Forwarded
Suppose your source contains:
SOURCE CHANNEL
📢 New product released!
💬 3 Comments
With comments:
↳ Alice: Amazing! 😍 ↳ Bob: When will it be available? ↳ Charlie: Great update! 🔥
Auto Forward Messages first forwards the channel post to your configured target.
When the addon detects the comments, the target will look like:
TARGET
📢 New product released!
↳ Alice: Amazing! 😍 ↳ Bob: When will it be available? ↳ Charlie: Great update! 🔥
Each comment is sent as a reply associated with the corresponding forwarded post.
The mapping is therefore preserved:
Post A → Forwarded Post A Comment on Post A → Reply to Forwarded Post A
This prevents comments from becoming disconnected standalone messages.
Important Requirements
For the Channel Comments Forwarding Addon to work correctly:
The Source must be a Telegram Channel.
The Source Channel must have a linked Discussion Group.
Comments must already be available on the source channel.
The Channel Comments Forwarding Addon must be active.
Your forwarding task must have access to the required source and target.
The original channel post must be handled by the forwarding task so the addon can associate subsequent comments with the correct target post.
Recommended Setup
Telegram
Source Channel → Linked Discussion Group → Comments
Auto Forward Messages
Source Channel → Target
Channel Comments Forwarding Addon
Source Comment → Reply to corresponding Target Post
Once everything is configured, Auto Forward Messages can synchronize both the channel posts and their conversations automatically.
