Thanks for the tutorial! The concept of these sub-workflows baffles me. There is no unique ID that identifies the second chain. How does the program know how to trigger that? And can it support multiple sub workflows?

Thanks for the tutorial although I'm hella confused. At 5:52 when I start typing, I don't get the option for the value :(

Hello I have used your tutorial to create a bot, but I have a question, can this bot be added to group chats and be used by the group chat users ?

Why doesn't this system work when I send a message from Telegram, but only responds when I press 'test workflow'? How can I fix this?

What about the reliability of the data?
