Telegram Watch Updates don't trigger when posting through API

How To

Hi all,
I’ve created a scenario to send Telegram Channel messages to Discord.
it works like a charm if I post messages or images manually, but when I try to post the message via API the Watch Updates module doesn’t trigger.
I have an app that sends a screenshot to the Telegram channel every time I press a key, but apparently, this message doesn’t count for the Make module although it sends a notification to all the channel users.

Do you know how to modify the Telegram Watch Updates module to recognize them as new messages so it can trigger?

Thanks in advance

Looks like an issue with Watch updates trigger configuration. Kindly send the screenshot of the Watch Updates trigger.

As a workaround, there is a setWebhook endpoint for Telegram bot: Telegram Bot API.
On successfully posting the message via API, you can trigger webhook to send messages to Discord.

I am unsure if that’s the issue as it works fine every time I type on the Telegram channel.
This is my scenario

And the Telegram Watch updates it’s just the webhook:

It works fine as long as I do not post in the channel through the Telegram APi

Welcome to the Make community!

According to Telegram, bots can’t read other bot messages (API).

So you can’t use Telegram for this.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
