Telegram Bot API Inline Keyboard Issue

Here’s an alternative sample:

const botInstance = new BotFramework('secretKey', { polling: true });
const customMarkup = { reply_markup: JSON.stringify({ inline_keyboard: [[{ text: 'Option X', callback_data: 'x' }], [{ text: 'Option Y', callback_data: 'y' }]] }) };
botInstance.sendMessage(userId, 'Choose an option:', customMarkup);
botInstance.on('callback_query', response => botInstance.sendMessage(response.from.id, 'Selected: ' + response.data));

Buttons don’t trigger responses. Any suggestions?

I encountered a similar problem in a project where inline buttons didn’t trigger any response, and it turned out that the issue was in the way the callback events were handled. In my case, the JSON stringification of the keyboard object wasn’t necessary as the API processed plain objects more reliably. I ended up removing the JSON.stringify call and ensuring my event listeners were attached before sending the message. Although every framework has its nuances, verifying the device’s response type and logging incoming events helped identify and resolve the mishandling of callback queries.

I once faced a similar issue where inline button callbacks weren’t being triggered. The problem in my case stemmed from the message construction order and an unintentional misuse of data conversion on the keyboard object. I initially used JSON.stringify on the markup, which ended up preventing the correct binding of callback events. By switching to a plain object for reply_markup and ensuring that my event listener for callbacks was registered before sending any messages, the problem resolved itself. Logging the entire update stream helped identify that the events were being received but not processed as expected, which guided my debugging process.

hey, try init the callback event listener before sending any messages - i had similar probs and switching to a plain object instead of json.stringify cleared it up. also double-check your api version, sometimes update bugs can cause these issuz.

In my experience, the order in which you initialize event listeners and send messages plays a crucial role in how callback queries are processed by the Telegram API. I once had a similar issue and discovered that establishing the listener prior to dispatching any messages was essential. Also, I’ve noticed that minor discrepancies in API expectations may lead to unexpected behaviors, so it helps to verify you’re using the correct data structure in your inline keyboard markup. Minor adjustments and thorough testing on both ends can save time troubleshooting these subtle integration bugs.
