Hi,

My bot responds to a certain command. This part works fine. But I wanted to have a marker automatically added at the same time.  
So I made the bot say “/marker foobar” but it doesn’t seem to work  
Is that a limitation ?

`/marker` isn’t _technically_ a chat command.

A bot should use the “Create Stream Marker” API instead
