Hi All.

I hope you are all doing well. I am building a chatbot in which form is used to send custom messages on Form Submit. I do receive the message on telegram, but somehow message comes 4 times and I see exceptions in the log which I could not relate. I need some help.

Hi Rick,

It looks like your ngrok URL is incorrect. You’ve configured it as http://xxxxx.ngrok.io/webhooks/telegram/webhook but you need to install and run ngrok which will generate a dynamic URL specific to your system.

Exception when trying to handle message.Wrong file identifier/http url specified [2020-05-12 07:20:58 -0400] [18131] [ERROR] Exception occurred while handling uri: ‘http://xxxxxxxxx.ngrok.io/webhooks/telegram/webhook’

Same issue here as well I have configured https url from ngrok And I see this issue apprears only when I have an image response in my utterence.For normal text it works fine.

also my ngrok gives

POST /webhooks/telegram/webhook 500 Internal Server Error

As tested with @karen-white works for https hosted images but fails for ones hosted in http or local

Hi Stephens, Thanks for the response , I have redacted the ngrok host name for this post.

5

Thanks , so you only facing this issue with images ?

6

yes, this only with images which are not hosted publically accessible and not https server …a normal google image will work checked with https://imgur.com/ it worked

I’m getting the same error, but not with images. Certain types of text that come back from the custom action server are causing telegram to keep responding to messages that aren’t sent. I have one message that has \n breaks and it doesn’t get sent. Not sure what’s going on or how to debug it

Hi, did you solve it?

9
