Every message sent in the group on various topics will be forwarded to the user's ticket.\n* There is no need to promote your broadcasting channel; the main reason for the channel is to organize and broadcast messages.\n* You can host a Redis database without any coding/server management skills through Coolify.io.\n* In the next version, I will add the **edit messages** feature, where the forwarded messages will be updated with the new edited one.\n\n## Why use this method?\n* If you deal with Telegram P2P, anyone can delete messages from both sides. If you run a business, then one of your clients may delete all messages, causing you to lose the history. This solution prevents people from deleting messages; every message forwarded into the support group will not be possible to delete by the sender.\n* Team collaboration: Why share one account when you can convert the whole group into a ticketing system? With this project, you can invite all your coworkers to reply and provide support to your clients through Telegram.\n* Integrate with third-party services? Using N8N will pave the way for integrating your Telegram users' data into a CRM. In V2, we will enable the option to force new users to share their leads before receiving support."}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "c45c5efc-9c4d-4373-b267-bb13a01cb1de", "name": "New User ?", "type":
