Hi
Have never managed to get my telegram bot to work in Flexget - So hope you can help me out here
The bot just works fine in my home assistant config and through Curl - but Flexget keeps giving me this error in the logfile:
no chat id found, try manually sending the bot any message to initialize the chat
So my question is:
- How do I initialize the chat manually? Sending a message to the bot(without reply) from my mobile phone works just fine
- Can I extract the chatId somehow instead, and put it manually in the flexget database?

notify:
entries:
title: "[Flexget] - {{task}} - {{tvdb_series_name}}"
message: "{{title}}\n\nSerie: {{series_name}}\n\nSerie ID: {{series_id}}"
via:
- telegram:
bot_token: 'mytoken'
parse_mode: markdown
recipients:
- username: 'Mybotname(without@)'
