To test the public channel you need to obtain the Chat ID. The Chat ID is part of the channel link.

The channel name is NOT the channel link/chat ID.

If the public channel link is, for example, t.me/IMTtest, then @IMTtest is your Chat ID.

Now, you can send a message to the public channel using the Send a Text Message or a Reply module.

Testing a Private Channel:

You need to obtain the Chat ID to test the private channel. There are three options to retrieve the ID:

Retrieve the ID from the web version of Telegram.
Switch the private channel to the public channel, then retrieve the ID (by sending or receiving the message in Boost.space Integrator) and switch back the channel type to private.
Invite the bot get_id_bot to your private channel and using the /my_id@get_id_bot command.

Retrieving the ID From the Web Version of Telegram

Log in to your Telegram account via https://web.telegram.org.
Click on the private channel you want to retrieve the chat ID for.
Copy the number between the c letter and the underscore from the URL. If the URL is https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=c1424271061_11793697872942794544 then copy the 1424271061
Paste the number to the desired field and add the prefix-100
The Chat ID of the private channel is then -1001424271061.

You can now use the ID in the desired Telegram Bot module in Boost.space Integrator.

It is not required. You can sign in on the site, telegram.org/auth where you can change your public settings. You will receive a key in your desktop application to submit your login.

My bot is hitting limits, how do I avoid this?

When sending messages inside a particular chat, avoid sending more than one message per second. We may allow short bursts that go over this limit, but eventually you’ll begin receiving 429 errorsService is unavailable due to a failure, a service responds with unexpected data or the validation of input data fails. More.

If you’re sending bulk notifications to multiple users, the API will not allow more than 30 messages per second or so. Consider spreading out notifications over large intervals of 8—12 hours for best results.

Also note that your bot will not be able to send more than 20 messages per minute to the same group.
