Sending messages as a public channel

[foodornt]

Using telegram you can choose which identity you want to send your message with

how can I do that with gramjs?

Seems like the helper methods currently don't support this parameter, but you can always use raw methods, like this:

await client.invoke(
  new Api.messages.SendMessage({
    peer: "chat to send the message to",
    message: "message text",
    sendAs: "chat to send the message as",
  }),
);

Absolute!
One more thing: how can I mention users this way? the [mention](userid) way isn't working

Both MarkdownParser and HTMLParser don't seem to recognize mentions

You can pass entities with the entities parameter.
