Need Help: Google Sheet Update → Telegram Bot 404 Error, Bot API Online

I’m trying to automate a workflow where updating a Google Sheet sends a notification to a Telegram channel via a bot using Activepieces. The integration is supposed to trigger on a Google Sheets update and send a message to my Telegram bot, which then posts to a channel.

Problem
Every time the test the telegram, I get this error:

Error: {“response”:{“status”:404,“body”:{“ok”:false,“error_code”:404,“description”:“Not Found”}},“request”:{“body”:

But the Telegram Bot API is online —the bot works for other interactions and I’ve checked the token.
What I’ve Tried:

  • Double-checked that my bot token is correct and not expired.
  • Verified the chat/channel ID is correct and that the bot is an admin/member.
  • The bot responds to /getMe and other API calls, so it’s alive.

My Questions:

  1. Is there a known issue with Activepieces and Telegram integration that causes 404 errors even with valid webhooks and tokens?
  2. Are there any gotchas with Google Sheets automation pushing to Telegram channels (e.g., formatting of IDs, permissions)?
  3. What else should I check or debug? Are there issues with automation platforms inserting hidden characters or formatting tokens incorrectly?

I’d appreciate any tips, debugging steps, or fixes. Thanks in advance!
