There is no callback, the method is on a regular keyboard button.

I see now. I've never used regular keyboard buttons before, only inline ones, so my confusion was with how I was meant to pass the parameters to the API after the user pressed the button because, for an inline button, I have to provide them. They're totally different and it pulls up a form for the user to fill out that populates the fields.

In what sense does it not work? More details. You don't receive updates from topics, you can't send messages to topics? Or what? This may be limited at your code level.
In any case, everything works fine for me, to send messages to the desired topic, pass messageThreadId

the doc says "Only users can use this method" which means, not bots

there's no other reliable way as far as I know
your best option is bot start parameter
but you don't have to be limited to a telegram bot
you can instead make a webpage, that'll be smoother than a bot
the webpage and bot can share the same db
(i just realised that you won't get the userid lol)

Hi everyone 👋
I’m building an MVP for subscriber attribution in a Telegram channel and ran into a limitation that I want to clarify with people who have real experience.
Setup:
* Telegram Bot (webhook, no polling)
* Google Sheets + Apps Script backend
* I generate multiple invite links via createChatInviteLink
* The goal is to attribute each subscriber to a specific source (marketing channels, ads, etc.)
Problem:
When a user joins the channel via an invite link (t.me/+...), I receive a chat_member update, but:
👉 there is NO invite_link field in the payload
Example of what I receive:
{
"chat_member": {
"chat": { "type": "channel" },
"new_chat_member": { "status": "member" }
}
}So I can detect the subscription, but I cannot determine which invite link was used.
Important:* In Telegram channel admin UI I can clearly see which users joined via which invite links
* But Bot API does not provide this data
---
Questions:1. Is this expected behavior that
invite_link is NOT included in
chat_member for public channels?
2. Is there ANY reliable way to get per-user attribution from invite links in channels?
3. Does switching to
creates_join_request: true (join requests) guarantee receiving
invite_link?
4. What is the best practice for tracking subscribers from Telegram Ads or multiple sources?
---
My goal:Track which users later convert into customers based on their acquisition source.
Right now it looks like:
❌ Public channel + invite links → unreliable attribution
✅ Bot start parameter → reliable but worse UX
---
Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has solved this in production 🙏
