Unable to send a deleteMessage payload #25

Closed dadino closed 3 years ago

dadino commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to delete a message using the payload node, passing this msg with a function

msg.method = "deleteMessage"
msg.payload = { 
    chat_id: msg.payload.chat.id,
    message_id: msg.payload.message_id
}
return msg;

But all I'm getting is this response: "empty arguments after parsing payload".

Here are my test nodes (replace my_chat_id with your id and my_telegram_bot with the name of your bot):

Since this is using node-telegram-bot-api under the hood, you need to follow their API for deleting a message. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like you can do this with the current version of node-red-contrib-telegrambot-home.

I've issued a new release that adds support for deleteMessage via the payload node.

Maybe in the future it would be nice to have a fully generic "send" method where you could send the raw Telegram API payload, rather than having to translate to node-telegram-bot-api's API. But unfortunately I don't have time for that at the moment.
