Telegram Webhook Missing "business_message"
# 🤝help
p
Surprisingly premium Telegram Business account do not work with botpress. The telegram method getUpdates() can contain two types of entries "messages" & "business_messages" seems like botpress only supports "message". I really hope devs look into this. It should be very easy to add. For the time being I'm trying to create a conversation through the API but not sure how that works since the conversation requires user id. How do I get the user id of someone I never spoke to before? Thanks

yes, I also expect support for business messages to get the id you can paste it into the response {{event.tags.conversation}} this will help you understand what data you are receiving

Thank you but it’s not even triggering the conversation start from the telegram webhook so business messages are simply ignored by botpress at the moment
The api is very unclear too and needs some clarification because it could be very powerful. Watch 1 hour of their own member struggling with the api here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0p4x7RqkKj0
