I created my chatbot thanks to Rasa and now I would like to make it available for everyone to talk with.
I thought it was nice to have it on Telegram, so I tried to follow the instructions given here.
However, I’ve not been able to understand what I should specify as webhook URL. I have my own web-server, but what specific file should I insert instead of this:
webhook_url: “your_url.com/webhooks/telegram/webhook”
?
By the way, I don’t need to use Telegram, any other way would work, I’m just looking for an easy way to make the bot public.
I followed all the passages, but when I was at the point of running make telegram I found that I didn’t have “telegram” in my Makefile. After googleing it, I added the following in the Makefile under “telegram”: rasa run -m models -p 5002 -c telegram --credentials credentials.yml.
Then I tried again with make telegram, but I got this error:
Ah of course you wouldn’t have that makefile since the instructions are for that specific repo. If you setup your ngrok to point to port 5005, you’ll also want to update that in your run command.
Yaml parser errors are usually due to an invalid domain file yaml. Did the training of your bot go fine? If so, can you post the whole stack trace that appears if you run
rasa run -m models -p 5005 -c telegram --credentials credentials.yml

Now running make telegram and changing the Makefile to the 5005 port, it works, and I actually can chat with my bot on Telegram.
However, when I close the console, the server stops and the Telegram bot doesn’t work anymore. Is that because of the ngrok webhook?
I was looking for a way to make the bot working permanently… I can use my own webhook, I only would like to know how.
I am also having this issue:

The argument should be a file path pointing to a yml file containing the telegram authentication information.
if your directory where you are running itself has credential.yml file then rasa shell or rasa x or rasa train is sufficient to solve this issue.But if you have specified credential in different file please mention with as argument .
this is how I have created, have commented the telegram because I thought might because there is issue on it so I have tried with Facebook but still have issue
