Ok. I followed all these steps and I cannot make this work. Maybe I don't understand. Please help.

I want to create a simple bot where I can send messages to a specific Telegram group (my family) and do so from a URL (so I can do it from within another app).

I created the bot, got the token, found the chat ID of the group I want the posts to go into and put in all the information and I get an error not found.

Your instructions say to create a bot THEN create a group. I already have a group chat. I added the bot into that group chat. But that bot has nothing else. It was just created and has a name. Am I missing something here? How do you get the new bot to be able to post messages into the group? I cannot create a new group as the group already exists.

Please explain. Thank you.
