Setup Notes
- Use public channel or public group URLs that can be accessed without private membership.
- Set date range and max messages to match the monitoring or research window.
- Clarify whether forwarded messages, media captions, or only text messages are needed.
Output Handling
- Store channel name, message URL, message text, date, and public view counts together.
- Messages may need text cleaning, language detection, or topic tagging before reporting.
- View counts and edits can change after collection, so delivery timestamps matter.
Quality Checks
- Verify that input channels are public and reachable.
- Check whether messages include deleted, edited, or forwarded content that needs special handling.
- Deduplicate records by message URL before delivery.
