Overview

This node operation adds members to a Telegram Supergroup or Channel by specifying the chat ID and a comma-separated list of user IDs. It is useful for managing group memberships programmatically, such as adding multiple users to a channel or supergroup in bulk. For example, an admin can automate adding new members to a community channel or a project group chat.

Use Case Examples

1. Add multiple users to a Telegram channel by providing the channel's chat ID and a list of user IDs.
2. Automate onboarding of new members to a Telegram supergroup by adding them via their user IDs.
