pwdz / TelegramBotChannel_CE97

A bot that acts as an admin in a channel and sends the received messages from users to real admins!

Intro

This is a Telegram bot that is used as an admin of a channel.
When a user starts a chat with the bot, bot sends messages to a private channel that all the admins of channel are there.
So admins can see messages without being in chat with user directly and can send answers to users. There is also a java Logger that saves messages to a file.
Bot id: @CE97_Adminbot
