BOT mode - lost Users ID (need to send /start to work)

[a-zazell]

Hi! I'm using TG with Asterisk PBX to send notify about the calls, like on screen https://goo.gl/SjR7yi. But after a while sending doesn't happen, the boat doesn't accept user#id, writes that it is

FAIL: 38: can't parse arg #1.

I: config dir=[/root/.telegram-cli]
> safe_quit
> > FAIL: 38: can not parse arg #1
All done. Exit
halt

Script BASH:

#!/bin/bash
to="$1"
msg="$2"
tgpath=/usr/local/src/telegram/tg
cd ${tgpath}

(echo "safe_quit") | ${tgpath}/bin/telegram-cli -k ${topath}/tg-server.pub -I -U root -W -b -e "msg $to $msg"

HowTo fix this?

PS: Normal send like this:

Try requesting the dialog_list or contact_list before sending the Message, maybe that fixes it ;)

Okay, sorry, I forgot that you're running in bot mode, there these methods are not available, of course.

[amin1softco]

this is bot! and bot can't send msg to users before not send /start to bot check bot api document.
