### Hi everyone,

I’m running n8n via Docker on my local machine using `localhost:5678`. When I try to use the **Telegram Trigger** , I encounter the following issues:

1. When executing the workflow:

```sql
Bad request - please check your parameters

```

1. When activating the workflow:

```sql
Bad Request: bad webhook: An HTTPS URL must be provided for webhook

```

I understand that Telegram requires a public HTTPS URL for webhooks, but I’m running n8n locally via Docker. Could someone advise on the best way to make Telegram Trigger work in a local Docker setup?

Thanks in advance!

In order to register a webhook, Telegram requires the webhook to be HTTPS instead of HTTP. You can use this to get yourself started:

Hey @yunus_emre1 , if you can share the ss of the telegram node and json payload if any, also use ngrok for webhook triggers as it will not work with local host

Do I need to create new file ?

The reason they have it and you don’t is the difference in the initial configuration. They had their bind mount configured to store n8n\_data in the home folder, while yours is probably somewhere else.
