Im using Thingsboard to send alarms to a telegram bot. I have created the bot, with its name and username, I have the TOKEN, and I have the chat id to send updates to the bot.
Now I, as a telegram user, can see the alarms I send to this bot, and tried using the HTML api simulator using the token and chat-id.
How are the next steps now to allow other users to see the bot updates? Because I sent the bot URL and the bot name (both ways) to a friend to access it, he typed /start, and after that time he should have seen another test update I had sent, but he saw nothing….
I’m new to telegram so any help would be appreciated…

I have a Thingsboard CE setup, and I followed all the steps to create a Telegram bot and send the alerts from Thingsboard to the bot. When I access this bot from my phone I can see the alerts.
But when I pass the channel link to my colleague for him to see the alerts too, he can’t see any alert, just a blank channel.
Im a complete noob on telegram, I had never used it, and I know there’s something Im not getting right, can you please suggest the way to share “something” (channel, group, bot..) with my client so he (and someone else later on from his team) can follow the alerts from his panel?
