Recently, Telegram introduced an update featuring a new message effect that requires a unique identifier called message_effect_id. Although previous updates discussed message_id, this new parameter is not clearly explained in the official documentation. Can anyone provide clarification on how to obtain or generate this effect ID? Any insights or pointers regarding its usage or retrieval within the Telegram Bot API would be greatly appreciated.
Based on my own testing and discussions within the developer community, it seems that the message_effect_id is actually generated on the fly by Telegram once you initiate a request that triggers a special message effect. In my experience, it is not something that you generate or compute manually. Instead, you will receive this identifier as part of the response payload when the effect is applied to a message. It appears to serve as an internal reference to the applied animation and its details within Telegram’s infrastructure.
