Description and reason:
The user is already a member of a group or channel

Solution:

You cannot invite people to the specified group or channel who are already members/subscribers of the specified group or channel


Detailed description:

The "USER_ALREADY_PARTICIPANT" error in Telegram occurs when an automation program or user attempts to invite someone to a group or channel where the person is already a member or subscriber. The Telegram API automatically tracks user status in groups and channels, and if a participant is already in the group, re-inviting them is not possible.

This error commonly appears with bots or automation programs designed for mass invitations or group messaging. The Telegram API accounts for existing members and prevents duplicate additions, thus optimizing interaction and preventing duplicate users in the member list.

Causes of the "USER_ALREADY_PARTICIPANT" error:

1. Attempting to add a user to a group where they are already a member.

2. Using an automated tool for mass invitations to channels or groups where the program does not check the user’s status before adding.

Solution for the "USER_ALREADY_PARTICIPANT" error:

1. Check the user’s status in the group or channel before sending an invitation. If the person is already in the group, no invitation is needed.

2. In automated programs and scripts, add a member status check before attempting to invite them to a group.

The "USER_ALREADY_PARTICIPANT" error helps avoid duplication in the group, positively impacting member management and keeping the list current. To prevent it, always verify a member’s status in the channel or group before sending an invitation.
