Hi!
I followed all instructions in https://nsoft-s.com/mychatarticles/1175 ... egram.html.
I created a bot on telegram.
I made my MyChat server available on the internet.$
I installed certificates for ssl encryption.
I entered my bot token in MyChat and it says : " Telegram bot is connected"

Then I entered the /start command in the bot and nothing happens.
I tried all combinations of the "auto-registration" and "auto-activation" buttons but it didnt change anything.
Please help,

[Alona Kutsenko]

Hello! We will check it on Monday. Stay tuned!

Hi!
I found a partial solution to my problem.
It was related to my network and firewall settings and not to mychat.
Now when someone sends me a message and I'm offline, I receive it through telegram.

But when I answer the user doesn't receive my reply...

[Alona Kutsenko]

How do you reply?
You need to long-tap on the message in Telegram, choose "Reply", and then type your message.

real human bean

Yes, that's what I did

[Alona Kutsenko]

Ok, we will test it and post the answer later in this thread.

1. Can you provide your full server version (e.g 8.3.3)?
2. Post a log from your server, the section "Tools" -> "Integration" -> "Telegram bot"->"Connection logs" (copy the text).
3. Did you enable the script in the section "Tools" -> "Scripts" -> "Event scripts" -> "OnRequestByRest" -> "Telegram". If not, tick the box.

1) Server 8.3.3
2) Here's the log. I replaced my server addresses and FQDN with placeholders for privacy puposes. If you need them I can send them in a private msg.

3) Yes I did

[Alona Kutsenko]

Yes, send us the full addresses at [email protected] and we will check them.

Please, show the content of your Telegram script: "Tools" -> "Scripts" -> "Event scripts" -> "OnRequestByRest" -> "Telegram".

Also, show the Node log : "Tools" -> "Logs" -> "Logs type" -> "NodeJS logs". It must match with the request time on https://[...]:8443/rest/Telegram/...

How do I upgrade to 8.4 on my production server?
Can I simply install over the previous version after stopping the service?

I tried the script on my 8.3.3 server
I get [Error] (42:64): Invalid number of parameters on line 42
mSendPrivateMessage(iUINFrom, iUIN, sData, 1);

Does the new scipt only work on the new server?

[Alona Kutsenko]

We haven't released the new version yet. But it's going to be today. You will be notified as soon as the new version is released.
The update instruction is on the Help page.

And about the script error? Do I have to wait for the new release?

[Alona Kutsenko]

Yes.

MyChat 8.4 is out!
Official news: MyChat 8.4 — own messenger with encryption

real human bean

New script + new version did the trick: it works!

One more question: what do the checkboxes "Auto registration of MyChat users" and "Auto activation" do exactly ?

[Alona Kutsenko]

1. Auto-registration is when a user press "Start" for the Telegram bot, and he is automatically added to the server with the same nickname he has in Telegram.

2. Auto-activation is for allowing a user to work with Telegram bot: receive messages from MyChat when he is offline and reply to them in Telegram.
