Onward
@onward_suggest_bot
FreemiumEN
Modern suggestion-box bot for channels: channel-specific links, structured menus for questions/ideas/reviews, one-click publishing to the channel. Free with optional Stars extras.
Key features
- Channel-specific suggestion link
- Structured menu for questions, ideas and reviews
- One-click publishing with real-time team sync
What Onward does
Onward is built specifically for channels with multiple admins rather than a single person's inbox: each channel gets its own link, incoming messages are sorted into a structured menu (questions, ideas, reviews) instead of one flat feed, replies stay anonymous by default, and any admin can publish a message straight to the channel with one tap and see it sync in real time for the rest of the team.
This addresses a common complaint about older-style anonymous-question bots, which were built for one person's personal Q&A and require awkward forwarding to publish an answer publicly. Optional premium features are paid with Telegram Stars rather than a subscription, which keeps the free core genuinely usable.
How to start
