[Back to types index](index.md)

You can directly provide the [Update](Update.md) or [Message](Message.md) object here, MadelineProto will automatically extract the destination chat id.

The following syntaxes can also be used:

```php
$InputPeer = '@username'; // Username

$InputPeer = 'me'; // The currently logged-in user

$InputPeer = 44700; // bot API id (users)
$InputPeer = -492772765; // bot API id (chats)
$InputPeer = -10038575794; // bot API id (channels)

$InputPeer = 'https://t.me/danogentili'; // t.me URLs
$InputPeer = 'https://t.me/joinchat/asfln1-21fa_'; // t.me invite links

$InputPeer = 'user#44700'; // tg-cli style id (users)
$InputPeer = 'chat#492772765'; // tg-cli style id (chats)
$InputPeer = 'channel#38575794'; // tg-cli style id (channels)
```
