The bot won't accept my channel or group
Usually a public-chat issue — make it private and add the bot again.
Updated: July 24, 2026
If the bot declines your chat or won't bind it, the chat type is almost always the reason.
Checklist
- Public channel → not supported. Make it private (remove the public link) and add the bot again.
- Public group → works only for moderation only. For paid access, make it private.
- Added as member, not admin → see that fix.
🔧 What happens under the hood
When the bot becomes admin, TribeSync checks the chat type and either binds it or replies explaining why it can't. Switching to private and re-adding the bot resolves the public-chat cases.
