# Forward a message — Telegram Bot

Botize method — `telegrambot.forward_message` (action).

Forward a message from one group or channel to another.

- Service messages can't be forwarded.
- Forwarding messages from groups or channels requires that your bot is included in them and with administrator permissions (also to forward from other channels and public groups).

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `chat_id` *(string)*
- `from_chat_id` *(string)* — Chat Id
- `message_id` *(string)* — Message Id to forward

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{message_id}}` *(text)* — Origin Message Id
- `{{chat_id}}` *(text)* — Origin Chat Id
