The group name isn't unique and telegram can't use that for sending a message. Because a name may be used for several groups. Which one should be selected?

You have no another option but if you want to simplify your code, you can store group-id as const variable:

public const double Rock= '164865465465';

and use like this:

 SendMessage(Rock, text);

You can't use title as parameter to send message, think about two group have same name? :)

If you don't want to send via Chat ID, try group username.

Unique identifier for the target chat or username of the target channel (in the format @channelusername)
