Telegram: Could not upload image with chatid ' '

[wilddoktor]

Hi all; I'm running AI Tools v 2.0.37.7608.

I decided to try checking the "send to telegram" box tonight. I got a bot setup, and messages sending properly, and got the correct token and chatid, and plugged them into AI Tool - Settings.

But when I do a test on the camera (Cameras - Actions - Settings - Test), I get the following error:

"Could not upload image g:\AlertImages\hd1.20220112_221853338_AITOOLTEST_80409.1294115.jpg to Telegram with chatid '': Invalid format. A valid token looks like "1234567:4TT8bAc8GHUspu3ERYn-KGcvsvGB9u_n4ddy". ; Parameter name: token [ArgumentException] Mod: d__44 Line:836:33"

Unsure why the error is saying my chatid is blank (it isn't) and the token isn't valid.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

First, try the latest: 2.1.6:

Also, DOES your token look like the format in their example?

[wilddoktor]

Thanks, will give that a try after work today!

The token looks just like the format; number, : , alpha-numeric. Chat ID starts with a -.

Oh, and I haven't updated vorlonCD in like a year; will I lose settings and have to re-input when I run the exe mentioned above? Thanks!

[VorlonCD]

you should not loose any settings. The exe is an installer, not the actual aitool.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

Thank you so much!! That did the trick for me; I'm getting alerts in Telegram now! Lots of cool new things to try out, but pretty intuitive.

Again, thank you...and, great job!
