Hello.

I tested my model with `rasa shell` and was ready to move to Telegram. I tried localhost+ngrok and dedicated server approaches - both of them have the same result.

When I try to open [https://a084-91-230-65-56.ngrok-free.app/webhooks/telegram/webhook](https://a084-91-230-65-56.ngrok-free.app/webhooks/telegram/webhook) - it returns me 500 error. But [https://a084-91-230-65-56.ngrok-free.app/webhooks/telegram](https://a084-91-230-65-56.ngrok-free.app/webhooks/telegram) - tells me “ok” health status. Here is the error I get:

```auto
[2024-07-14 23:10:29 +0000] [96305] [ERROR] Exception occurred while handling uri: 'https://livekit-test2.shvetsov.tech/webhooks/telegram/webhook'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "handle_request", line 124, in handle_request
sanic.exceptions.ServerError: Invalid response type None (need HTTPResponse)

```

If I “/start” conversations with tg bot I am getting this error in 10s:

```auto

    raise RuntimeError('Event loop is closed')
RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

```

Help me please to understand the root cause.

During rasa starts i see what webhook installed with no error. But why server respond with error?

Here is my credentials.yml

```auto
telegram:
  access_token: "7165692472:..."
  verify: "antibullying_rasa_bot"
  webhook_url: "https://a084-91-230-65-56.ngrok-free.app/webhooks/telegram/webhook"
  
# This entry is needed if you are using Rasa Enterprise. The entry represents credentials
# for the Rasa Enterprise "channel", i.e. Talk to your bot and Share with guest testers.
# rasa:
# url: "http://localhost:5002/api"

```

Thank you a lot!
