I've User ID's of multiple people. I want to send them a message using my BOT but, the problem is I don't have chat_id of an individual user because they haven't initiated a chat with the bot. Is there a way I can send a Direct message using User_ID (not with chat_id).

Bots can't initiate conversations with users. A user must either add them to a group or send them a message first. People can use telegram.me/ links or username search to find your bot.
