I want to connect the integration to a Telegram chat. I created a bot and added the token in the plugin settings. But nothing is happening, and the bot isn’t responding. When I send a test message through the plugin, I get a 500 error. Please help. ---

Check /logs for the actual error that lead to the 500 please and share it, including the backtrace ---

I get: ```plaintext ping api.telegram.org PING api.telegram.org (149.154.166.110) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 149.154.166.110: icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=33.3 ms 64 bytes from 149.154.166.110: icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=31.5 ms 64 bytes from 149.154.166.110: icmp_seq=3 ttl=49 time=33.1 ms ``` which looks healthy. ---
