title: Get Reply Message from Telegram Bot API
body: <p>I'm developing a Bot that I want users to call in a reply to a previous message. So you would reply to a message with the bot command. </p>
  
  <p><strong>For Example</strong> <br>
  User 1: Hello World <br>
  User 2: (Reply to Hello World) /command test message</p>
  
  <p>Right now I am only able to grab the text sent directly in the command ("test message"), but not the first message ("Hello World"). According to their <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a>, I should be able to get it from <code>reply_to_message</code>. However, all I'm seeing in my logs from the webhook is this.</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>event: {
    body: {
      update_id: 5632431,
      message: {
        message_id: 43,
        from: {
          id: &lt; my_user_id &gt; ,
          first_name: 'User 2',
          username: 'user_2_username',
          language_code: 'en'
        },
        chat: {
          id: &lt; chat_id &gt; ,
          title: &lt; chat_name &gt; ,
          type: 'group',
          all_members_are_administrators: true
        },
        date: 1498342725,
        text: '/command test message',
        entities: [{
          type: 'bot_command',
          offset: 0,
          length: 5
        }]
      }
    }
  }</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong? Anyone have experience getting a reply message?
  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
