Alert Received & Sent Error: Chat not found

[danywayGit]

Hi,
I'm trying this TradingView-Webhook-Bot project, and I'm not sure yet how it should works.
I have a Telegram Chanel, and I have create a bot on @Botfather
I suppose the script receive the WebHook from the TradingView Alert, and tell the TelegramBot(created @Botfather) to forward the messages to the Telegram Chanel.
I have added the TelegramBot as Admin (with the right to post message), on the Telegram Chanel.

In the config.py, I have set
sec_key = (
"MySecretKey"
)

Telegram Settings

send_telegram_alerts = True
tg_token = "xxxxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
channel = zzzzzzzzzz # I have try also with -zzzzzzzzz

and in tradingview a simple one.
{
"key": "MySecretKey",
"msg": "Long #{{ticker}} at {{close}}"
}

In the out put of the script I got this message :
2021-12-16 03:08:19 Alert Received & Sent!
[X] 2021-12-16 03:08:19 Error:

Chat not found

So the Sec_Key look like correct, and also the Json data format of the message.
It's look like a problem with my Telegram configuration, but I haven't found how to solve it.

Any idea ?

I have found the solution
https://coderedirect.com/questions/623342/telegram-bot-chat-not-found
in the config.py, for the chanel ID, it was not working for me the enter an integer ID, I had to set the variable with
"@MyChanelName"
Like this :
channel = "@MyChanelName" # Channel ID (ex. -1001487568087)

I have suggested you a pull request to add an additional comment for this channel variable.
