chat invite link error

[JonasCaetanoSz]

hi, i'm creating a a bot that manages channel members , I save the id of the channels and groups that the bot was placed as an administrator in the Database, but when I use these id like this:

for chat_id in self.database.get_all_chat(): invite_url = self.bot.create_chat_invite_link(chat_id=chat_id).invite_link

I get the error: bot is not a member of the supergroup chat

I already checked, and all the channels and groups that are in the database the bot is admin, this seems to happen only with some chats, can you help me?

The id is mb outdated

outdated chat_id? how do i update this?

thanks for your answer (:

First, when u create a group, it is just a group, which has a random negative id
But as u do some actions, it is converted to supergroup. Supergroup's id will have -100 at the beginning.
So you are probably using group id instead of supergroup id

bot is not a member of the supergroup chat

Come on, what is unclear in this message?! You can create invite link only when your bot is a member and an admin of the group with appropriate permissions. If it is not (currently - not a member).

What's not clear about this message, is this serious? Because to me, it sounded like a joke. If I'm an administrator of the group or channel, obviously I'm already a member, or in my opinion, could be like that. This Telegram logic makes no sense. Anyway, I'm already correcting this issue using @coder2020official's tip.

Yes, I had already understood! Thank you for your help, both of you. (:

I will be closing this as resolved.
