RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'ThreadPoolExecutor-0_0'

Question

Trying to call app.add_chat_members from Pyrogram in a Django view but can't seem to instantiate the client.

Steps to Reproduce views.py

...
from pyrogram import Client

def add_users_to_chat(chat_id, user_ids, forward_limit = 0):
    user_bot = Client("session_name", api_key=API_KEY, api_hash=API_HASH)
    with user_bot:
        return user_bot.add_chat_members(chat_id, user_ids, forward_limit)

def add_user_to_chat_view(request):
    ...
    add_users_to_chat(request.kwargs.get('chat_id'),request.user.telegram_id)

I am running django in asgi with uvicorn uvicorn config.asgi:application --host 127.0.0.1 --reload. I have tried using async:

async def add_users_to_chat(chat_id, user_ids, forward_limit = 0):
    user_bot = Client("session_name")
    async with user_bot:
        return await user_bot.add_chat_members(chat_id, user_ids, forward_limit)

I have also tried async_to_sync

from asgiref.sync import async_to_sync
@async_to_sync
async def add_users_to_chat(chat_id, user_ids, forward_limit = 0):
    user_bot = Client("session_name")
    async with user_bot:
        return await user_bot.add_chat_members(chat_id, user_ids, forward_limit)
