Hi @Jimbo.Automates, I'm running 3.4.6.  I had some issues regarding the PGx upgrade but Michel was able to resolve it.  My user name for Telegram is now missing from the configuration and there's no way to add it.  See screen shot I cannot physically type it in anywhere.  What am I missing?

 

Also I'm on the latest version of PGx that came out today.  Do I need to update Notifications to the latest too?  I held off because you had said there were some issues going to the latest.

 

Thanks!

While I don't use Telegram, here are the configuration instructions, have you followed them?

Telegram

There is a very simple method to setup your own Telegram Bot. This is initially a semi-manual process to create your own bot. I will be researching and testing better ways to do this in the future.

First create your User Bot

  1. Install Telegram on your computer or phone
    1. Will need to copy/paste a long key to PG3
  2. Go to https://telegram.me/botfather
  3. Command: /newbot
  4. Answer questions:
    1. Bot Name: Any name you want
    2. User Name: Any username you want.
  5. botfather prints a line saying: Use this token to access the HTTP API:
    1. Copy and save that, you will need it for the configuring the nodeserver
    2. Also save a permenant record of it somewhere, along with the link in the next step
  6. You will also be given a link to your bot like t.me/{yourBotUsername}, click on it.
  7. The "Start" will be shown, click that
  8. Go to: @RawDataBot
    1. Click Start
    2. This will give your user id listed under message -> from -> id
    3. Copy that to use in Nodeserver configuration

The tell the Notification Nodserver about it.

  1. PG3 UI
  2. Go to Notification Nodeserver Configuration
  3. Click "Add Telegram User Bot Service Node"
  4. Set the name
  5. Paste the HTTP API Key from above
  6. Paste your userid into the users (currently only one user is supported)
  7. Click Save Changes

I'm familiar with the instructions.  I've been using Telegram since Jim first offered it.  I suspect this is related to the integration of this NS with UDMobile.  My problem is there is no little white box to type the user name into.

Update for @Jimbo.Automates

I deleted the NS and started over.  The little white box reappeared so I could enter the user id.  It is still not working however.  The is an error in the log that I will PM to you.  I know that my bot is set up correctly because it responds to a /getme command by copy and pasting the url right from the error log.  I'm now running 3.6.9.  I create a second bot but the result is the same.  Thanks.
