Node Red and telegram bot error

Firstly I want to say I am a novice to programming. But I want to learn. I do know logic and want to make things for myself using Node Red for IoT.

I was trying to figure out how do send messages to and from telegram through node red. So that once I can do that I can connect other devices that can listen to my messaged from telegram and be controlled via node red and vice-versa.

Here's what I have already done so far.

1. Installed both of the following modules in Node red TelegramBot and Redbot(chatbot) via NPM and for this example I am using Redbot to send my message.

2. Setup a telegram bot successfully and got my API key for the bot

3. Got my API key and ChatID (which was really a Pita BTW)

4 I followed guide - https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-chatbot to setup my Node Red Flow. the basic flow which looks like this. NodeRed Flow

But my problem is when I send anything from my Telegram bot, NodeRed pick up something as I see the "Debug tab" updating. But it only says

"msg : string [44]Unable to find context().global in Node-RED" When I click the error it takes me back to the instance of Telegram I setup already.

I know I am doing something wrong here but what is that I am just not sure. Can someone help. I am sure I am missing something very simple.
