Urgent Help Needed: Error with Lindy Integration at Web2wave

Anton O. · 2025-06-09T13:24:46.381Z

Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a great day :wink: I would really appreciate any help from you. Please the reports below - for slack and tg integrations at the last step, where the bot just needs to send a message to a channed – It just can't for some reason :sob: (admin rights granted) I've spent a couple of days trying to fix this or find any info - no luck :pensive: We're having a huge wave of new clients at web2wave, and Lindy seems like a perfect solution we'd love to work with – as soon as we fix the Error I've encountered - please see below - it's both flows - am I missing something?

Hey Anton! So a couple things:
1.
It looks like the most recent attempt went through, for this task. Can you confirm you received this message? If not, you can invite the Lindy bot to the channel by writing /Invite @Lindyin the Slack channel
a.
I would suggest changing your Message in 'Send a message' to use AI Prompt, otherwise every time the message is sent, it'll say the same thing
2. In regards to your Telegram error, it looks like this error: Request failed with status code 403 Response: { "ok": false, "error_code": 403, "description": "Forbidden: bot can't initiate conversation with a user" } I believe it's because Telegram enforces privacy restrictions:
Bots are not allowed to start conversations.
A user must first send a message to the bot or click the Start button in the bot’s profile before the bot can reply to them.
Can you confirm that the users who you are trying to message with the bot have initiated a conversation with the bot already?

Regarding the suggestion to change - could you please point me towards the setting for AI Prompt? I've crafted my own search words pool

Is there any way to figure this out? Seems like a pretty common channels - TG and Slack especially – then some other clients should have almost certainly experienced same errors. Currently I'm stuck again 😔
