Hi All, Can somebody help me with “Telegram” integration for our existing Discourse site?

Have you tried to Set up Telegram integration using the discourse-chat-integration plugin?

I have but it spams the group even with the bot’s group privacy enabled. [image] Set up Telegram integration using the discourse-chat-integration plugin Integrations Yes I’m also experiencing this too. It will react to join/leave/pin events and I did make sure "Group Privacy is enabled. Any updates on this? Much appreciated. @david

Hi guys, I’ve created a bot - copied the access token and pasted in the chat integration plugin too. Now when I go to telegram getting a message like: This chat isn’t setup on greytHR Community. Ask an administrator to add a channel with ‘Chat ID’ 16941513XX. What should I do next?

Yup. I did the bot pushes messages to channels. But channel not able to reply.. so that the reply gets posted back to Discourse

Ah I see, you are using the unofficial notifications plugin, not the ‘chat-integration’ plugin? The “Ask an administrator to add a channel with” message you shared above looks like the chat-integration plugin :thinking: If you really are using the notifications plugin: [image]Telegram Notifications Plugin (discourse-telegram-notifications) Send a message to the bot, you’ll receive a message back that looks like To get notifications for Discourse, enter the ‘Chat ID’ 1234567 in your user preferences Visit your Discourse user preferences, and paste the number in the Telegram Notifications box You should now receive notifications by telegram message! Are you replying directly to the messages in telegram? (on iOS, long press on the message, then click reply) Are you trying to use the notifications bot in a group chat/channel? That is unlikely to work.

We have a business plan with Discourse and I use “Chat Integration” inside my Admin → Plugins and got the connections done. My users are not comfortable with Desktop / website based forum, so need to bring this in Telegram and make it easy for them to read and reply
