Weird telegram behavior

    Hello,

    Since yesterday, there is a weird behavior with telegram. Instead of showing the messages, it shows sometimes something like “If you have Telegram, you can contact @<channel> right away.“, and there is a popup asking to open telegram.

    I’ve provided a link to the widget. If it happens you don’t see the issue (generally you see it after some refresh), here a screenshot : https://i.imgur.com/1cEZ7a4.jpeg

    For now, we had to remove the widget.

    Thanks for the help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    It may be an issue from Telegram. The plugin displays what Telegram shows for the channel. Refreshing the page may fix the issue.

    I understand it’s an issue from Telegram. I’m wondering if it’s because the HTML is not fetched from an actual user? (maybe you might need to provide user-like headers?)

    Refreshing is not helping. Sometimes the messages are back, but if you refresh again, most of time it reappears. You can see with the provided link.

    Any solution in mind?

    Any news, please? It still happening.

    It looks like it prevents spam and unnecessary loading: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnfUx87FwDK4sFtJYuWZyOAvbvSg and implementing some cache mechanism might solve this. What do you think?

    By any chance, have you enabled “Content protection” in Telegram app in Channel settings > Channel type?

    Sorry for the late answer, I did not see the notification.

    The answer is no. We had this plugin enabled for a while without issue and we did not change channel settings. It happened suddenly one day.

    I came back because I wanted to share I implemented a basic caching system with Redis to save/get the output in send_request_to_t_dot_me for a few minutes, and it works well.
    There are likely connection restrictions but I could not find any information about it.

    It would be handy to have a caching feature in the future.

    For now, will mark this as resolved, thanks for the help.
