Configuring n8n for telegram

Questions
1

has anyone got the telegram trigger to function. Is there a minimum that you have to do in telegram, when setting up the bot.

I have created a telegram bot that i can message, i have checked the bot token, i have checked the test and production url webhooks.

When i start the node, it says waiting for trigger, when i send a message in telegram to the bot account, nothing happens.

I have tried sending /start and messages with /hello, but no trigger occurs. I am woundering if I need to do more than create abot, and i have to put some logic in it, i didn’t think that was the case, as everything should be dealt with in n8n after the trigger, but any advice as I can’t see another way to debug,a s the message never arrives.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

I have the same problem, and it is not a problem with Telegram because testing it on webhook.site it is receiving the data, so I understand that it is a problem with n8n, and I have tested it on n8n cloud and on n8n local

I have a local n8n instance with telegram bot functionality and everything is working fine. Check that your webhook URLs are accessible from the internet
