im trying to have groups to send notifications to
i have one working bot, works great sending and receiving from my telegram
ive created a couple of groups, added @getidsbot to the groups, got the id: which starts with a -,
i then added it to the allowed chat ids
telegram_bot:
- platform: polling
api_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
allowed_chat_ids:
- -8141XXXXX
- -6594XXXXX
- 97161XXXX
- 47347XXXX
then proceeded to make the notify services
notify:
- platform: telegram
name: Rons TG
chat_id: 47347XXXX
- platform: telegram
name: Rons TG New
chat_id: -8141XXXXX
- platform: telegram
name: Rons TG Snapshots
chat_id: -6594XXXXX
- platform: telegram
name: Jane TG
chat_id: 97161XXXX
saved, restarted, then i go to dev tools, services
testing with this
service: notify.rons_tg_new
data:
title: test
message: test
not getting any message, however using the old bot :
service: notify.rons_tg
data:
title: test
message: test
works just fine the message goes through but of course not to the group since its my own chat id that linked to it.
whats the issue here ? seems so straightforward
