Good Morning.

I am using Contrib-TelgramBot-Home quite successfully. Everything works.

I am battling to get the code right to send a global variable from a function node as a message with TelegramBot-home..

Kindly assist.

As we cannot guess your setup, your messages, payload, flow(s), it is kind of hard to provide help.

Can you share incoming example data and expected output data ?

I want to send the following variables as a message with Telegram-bot-home

> Blockquote

var fridgetemp = global.get("FridgeTemp");  
var fridgealarm = global.get("FridgeAlarm")  
var power\_on = global.get("Power\_On");  
msg.payload = fridgealarm + fridgetemp + " " + "Celsuis." + " " + "Power = " + power\_on;  
return msg;

> Blockquote

And what do you see in a debug node after that function?

Not sure how useful that node still is given that it hasn't been updated in 12m and the Telegram bot API has changed quite a bit since then.
