Your chat id is not correct
It should start with prefix -100
Not 100

hi, @thunderpavan-1997 , did you set the correct chat ids? or you may even use the username or link of the channel or group

[aahnik]

@ankit-sinha-18 thanks a lot! you gave the correct solution. please continue helping others here. It's not possible for me alone to handle the whole community.

we need to build a larger community, and without support, it cannot be done.

If you can spare just 5 minutes a day, then that's great.
