Hey everyone!
I’ve set up an AI bot on Telegram but it’s not working as expected. The bot only responds to messages from the account I used to create it. When I try to use it from a different number it seems like the messages are sent but they don’t show up in the flow or executions.
I’m pretty confused because I watched a tutorial where the creator had to add an ‘IF’ node to make the bot only answer him. But in my case it’s already doing that without any extra steps!
I’ve been trying to figure this out for three days now and I’m getting frustrated. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue or how I can fix it? I’d really appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Have you double-checked your bot’s API token implementation? Sometimes, issues like this can stem from incorrect token usage or configuration. Make sure you’re using the correct token in your code and that it hasn’t expired. Also, verify that your bot’s webhook (if you’re using one) is properly set up and pointing to the correct server address. These steps helped me troubleshoot a similar issue with my Telegram bot. If the problem persists after checking these, you might want to review your server logs for any error messages that could provide more insight into what’s going wrong.
I faced a similar problem with my Telegram bot and discovered that the root of the issue was the privacy settings. By default, Telegram bots are restricted in group chats, which can prevent them from seeing messages unless commands are explicitly used. In my case, I resolved the problem by disabling the privacy mode via BotFather. I opened BotFather, used the /mybots command, selected the bot, navigated to Bot Settings, then Group Privacy, and finally switched it off. After making this change, my bot responded to messages from all numbers. I suggest verifying your bot configuration if the issue persists.
hey mate, sounds like a pain! have u checked ur bot’s privacy settings? sometimes they’re set to only respond to the creator by default. try hitting up BotFather and disabling privacy mode. that might do the trick! lemme know if it works for ya
