Hey folks! I’m pretty new around here and running into a weird problem with my bot setup. Everything seems to be configured correctly on my end - the telegram bot is active and responding to commands, all the notification settings are enabled on the platform, and the connection appears stable. However, I’m not getting any push notifications on my mobile device which is really frustrating. The bot works fine for basic interactions but the alert system just isn’t functioning properly. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with notification delivery? I’ve double checked all my settings multiple times but still no luck. Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
This sounds like a phone notification issue, not a bot problem. I’ve seen this exact thing happen tons of times - everything works on the backend but users don’t get notifications. First, check if your phone’s set up right for Telegram push notifications. Go to your phone’s notification settings and make sure Telegram has full permissions. Also check if you’ve got battery optimization or power saving mode blocking background notifications. Another thing - Telegram’s got its own notification settings inside the app. Even if your bot responds to commands, notifications might be turned off for that specific chat. Open your conversation with the bot and check those chat notification settings. Try testing on a different phone or use Telegram web to see if it’s just your device. If notifications work everywhere else except your phone, it’s definitely your mobile setup, not the bot.
Had the same issue last month - turned out to be webhook config on my server. Your bot works fine with direct commands because those use polling, but push notifications need webhooks which are totally different. First, check your webhook URL. Make sure it’s set up right and Telegram’s servers can actually reach it. Use getWebhookInfo through Telegram’s API to verify this. If the webhook isn’t set or has errors, you won’t get notifications even though everything else works. Also, check your SSL certificate if you’re using HTTPS webhooks. Telegram won’t deliver to invalid certs. I wasted hours before realizing mine had expired. Another thing - sometimes bot tokens get restricted without warning. Try generating a fresh token and see if that fixes the notification delivery.
You’re dealing with webhook delivery issues. Been there when building alerting systems.
Telegram notifications fail for tons of reasons - rate limits, network timeouts, or Telegram just being down. Debugging this stuff manually sucks.
You need an automation layer that handles retries and fallbacks. I used Latenode for this exact problem and it fixed my notification headaches.
Latenode lets you build workflows that automatically retry failed messages and switch to backup channels when Telegram craps out. Everything gets logged so you can track what’s breaking.
Set up multiple notification paths - Telegram fails, it hits email or SMS instead. No more missed critical alerts.
