So I need to send some btc to a wallet that has a receiving capacity on its lightning network channel? Is there a sevice that provide this kind of thing?
There's a third-party feature that'll enable to to have some inbound capacity, that's the "swap" button in the 'channels' tab (View->Show Channels).
To use it, you need to wait for your channel to reconnect (open status), then input an amount in "You send x BTC" (at least 0.0002), all of the info will be updated depending on what you input,
that includes the "service fee" and on-chain transaction fee.

After using the feature, an on-chain transaction will be held and the amount you've input will be sent to your on-chain balance and deducted from your lightning balance.
A portion (most) of that amount will be added to your inbound capacity.
