I want to forward messages from a source to my channel. What type of account do I need?

If your source is a public channel or private channel with an active invitation link, then you need a Standard account. The pricing for this service you can see by a command /powerup.

If your source is a private channel without an invitation link or is a bot, then you need theĀ Direct connection. The pricing and manual for this service you can seeĀ here.
