Hi.

For couple of hours I am trying to get the receiver node to work & ... I am stuck !

Created a new bot, /setprivacy defined to Disabled.

My simple flow:

```auto
[{"id":"2a01c586770210e4","type":"tab","label":"Test","disabled":false,"info":"","env":[]},{"id":"90a948b6cd86f534","type":"debug","z":"2a01c586770210e4","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":590,"y":120,"wires":[]},{"id":"c1111678e1e6fb77","type":"telegram receiver","z":"2a01c586770210e4","name":"","bot":"4058a84093c9703e","saveDataDir":"","filterCommands":false,"x":230,"y":140,"wires":[["90a948b6cd86f534"],["90a948b6cd86f534"]]},{"id":"4058a84093c9703e","type":"telegram bot","botname":"bot","usernames":"","chatids":"","baseapiurl":"","updatemode":"polling","pollinterval":"300","usesocks":false,"sockshost":"","socksport":"6667","socksusername":"anonymous","sockspassword":"","bothost":"","botpath":"","localbotport":"8443","publicbotport":"8443","privatekey":"","certificate":"","useselfsignedcertificate":false,"sslterminated":false,"verboselogging":false,"credentials":{}}]

```

If I write directly to bot, massages are collected by NR but massages form channel not. Bot is added as a subscriber/admin to that channel of course.

If I try simple http request from chrome:

[https://api.telegram.org/bot5137304410:AAGUlAfcl7cQa--aIpf\_UUwMTIVDhdgykiY/getUpdates](https://api.telegram.org/bot5137304410:AAGUlAfcl7cQa--aIpf_UUwMTIVDhdgykiY/getUpdates)

I do get the updates.

Can Anyone give me a hint what do I do wrong ?

Of course this bot is used once in my all my NR flows

Tip: Your flow will look better and be easily importable if you'll put three backticks, ```, on a separate line both before and after what you pasted above.

No

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil ✏ icon.
