I created a telegram bot and configured it for use as a nodered bot with the subject palette. I can receive messages in a telegram group from my personal telegram account using the node-red-contrib-telegrambot receiver node. Hiwver when another telegram bot I created that is also in this same group chat sends messages, I see them on my personal telegram account in that group chat but the node-red-contrib-telegrambot receiver node does not see them.

I did not have any users configured in the node red bot config but I tried adding my personal device and the other telegram bot usernames just in case. In either case, the node red receiver node doesnt receive the message from the other telegram bot.

I do have 1 chatid configured and it’s for the group that both my personal device and bith telegram bots are members. Both telegram bots have full permissiins in the group and are admins.

Is there some restriction for the node-red-contrib-telegrambot receiver not to receive other bot's messages?
