• javascript
• rest
• telegram
• telegram-bot
• node-telegram-bot-api

• What does it say when you send the request with reply_to_msg_id? It should return an error if it doesn't work. – Ali Padida Commented Mar 25, 2020 at 20:45
• Hi, no it doesn't. – JackPolets Commented Mar 26, 2020 at 16:38
• Then use another API for your bot development, it should always return a response for you to find out about the error. – Ali Padida Commented Mar 26, 2020 at 16:49

You need to use reply_to_message_id and NOT reply_to_msg_id.

Source: Telegram sendMessage API

bot.on('message', (msg) => {
  const { message_id: originalMessageId, from: { username }, chat: { id: chatId } } = msg;

  bot.sendMessage(chatId, `wele ${username}`, {
    reply_to_message_id: originalMessageId
  });
})

bot.onText(/\/start/, (msg, match)=> {
var text = "hi user wele to bot"
bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id,text,{reply_to_message_id: msg.message_id})

})

use replay_to_message_id
