Telegram bot does not respond with Rasa x

[Deprecated] Rasa X Community Edition
1

Hi,

I followed the Docker-Compose Quick Install deployment procedure Docker-Compose Quick Install and followed the Rasa Master Class video lessons. I used Google Cloud for hosting, ran the certbot for the ssl certificate, integrated with my project on github and created the credentials file for integration with the telegram. The rasa-x page works perfectly, however when I talk to the bot on the telegram I get the request below in the log:

nginx_1            | 2020-02-09T18:49:02.280548875Z 91.108.6.145 - - [09/Feb/2020:18:49:02 +0000] "POST /webhooks/telegram/webhook HTTP/1.1" 200 1578 "-" "-"

However, the bot does not respond on the telegram. Looking at the log, some errors appear:

Hi @eduardodsaraujo,

To make sure that the issue comes from the telegram connection and is not caused by something else, can you try to run another test by sharing the bot with test users, as described here?

Hi Arjaan,

It works now, I saw the last part of the text in this link, here:

  • change from : http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/webhooks/<CHANNEL>/webhook
  • to : http://<RASA X HOSTNAME>/core/webhooks/<CHANNEL>/webhook

And I saw that my credentials file was wrong. The bot in the telegram is answering now and I think that the error didn’t appear anymore too. Thank you very much, you saved my life.

Hi @gulafshan,

The it depends on the rasa x version you have deployed on the GCP.

This is dependent on your Rasa X version. It should work without the /core/ for any version >= 0.27.0: Rasa X Changelog

for version below 0.27.0: quest URL should not be

http://<host>:<port>/webhooks/telegram/webhook

which is wrong.

The request url should be

http://<host>/core/webhooks/telegram/webhook

For version above 0.27.0 you can use:

http://<host>:<port>/webhooks/telegram/webhook
6

Appreacited your immediate response!

My Rasa X version is 0.28.6 and my telegram credentials look like

telegram:

access_token: “xxxxx” verify: “xxx_bot” webhook_url: “http://xxxx.ngrok.io/webhooks/telegram/webhook”

Even my custom actions are working fine in Rasa Shell but not working with rasa X. Though default scenarios are working in Rasa x.

For telegram my bot is not responsing at all.

Please help me I am trying hard to resolve but no luck.

Thanks a ton :slight_smile:
