botpress cloud with telegram integration - styling
# 🤝help
c
I just signed up with a botpress cloud free account and integrated with telegram. My question is how to style the text responses.. Tried {{workflow.var{}} and this works in the web but in telegram it shows as * varresult * How can I style the text for telegram usage. Thanks in advance

Hi @chilly-morning-19152, Telegram supports rich content like cards, carousels, and images. You can learn more at https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/channels/overview/ You can also style text with basic markdown: ** two asterisks for bold test, _ underscores for italiac, * or - for unordered lists, and 1. for ordered lists.

I tried the markdown @acceptable-kangaroo-64719 but all I see is the asterisks but the content is just plain text. see https://imgur.com/a/rnyD2dM and https://imgur.com/a/9pLj0CI

Maybe try bold with one asterisk or ittalics? Looking at this doc, it says WhatsApp does bold that way https://faq.whatsapp.com/539178204879377

@acceptable-kangaroo-64719 same result - this is Telegram iOS
a
.....this is indeed telegram 🤭
The telegram API says that double asterisks should work https://core.telegram.org/api/entities
could you try italiacs?
c
@acceptable-kangaroo-64719 it shows up as ususHello Worldusus no italics
a
interesting. @bright-magazine-792 have you been able to do formatted text in Telegram messages?
c
I also tried & tags
a
Alright. I've never tried Telegram, but Rohan has. We'll see if he has any ideas
b
@chilly-morning-19152 can you try with * word * ?
c
@bright-magazine-792 No luck - shows as plain text with/without a space before & after the word/phrase
@bright-magazine-792 @acceptable-kangaroo-64719 this is really strange - in Studio it' reversed https://imgur.com/Fm5w9Wy
b
how does it look in telegram?
with single *
c
@bright-magazine-792 it's raw text anyway you enter it!
Hi @bright-magazine-792 - any luck with styling telegram?
Hi @bright-magazine-792 @acceptable-kangaroo-64719 would appreciate a Yay or Nay on this feature/issue- so I can move forward or branch off to something else. Thanks

Hey @chilly-morning-19152, it looks like there's something up with Telegram text styling. I'll file an internal bug report about it, but there's no strict timeline about when it will be fixed.
c
I tried SendPulse just out of curiosity and it worked as expected. There's definetely an issue on the botPress side. Thanks for the update @acceptable-kangaroo-64719

@bumpy-butcher-41910 Do you know if this was every picked up again and resolved? I searched 'telegram markdown' and haven't seen any updates
b
Upvote my request to add formatting to Telegram integration https://discord.com/channels/1108396290624213082/1322599820568956949 @fresh-evening-56669 @strong-lawyer-34028
@acceptable-kangaroo-64719 if you could take a look. There's an API param that Botpress needs to pass to Telegram to allow formatting to work. ref: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#formatting-options:~:text=To%20use%20this%20mode%2C%20pass%20MarkdownV2%20in%20the%20parse_mode%20field.%20Use%20the%20following%20syntax%20in%20your%20message
Should be a very easy fix
