Vk-bot responds in the BOS, but does not respond in conversations, what to do?
I wrote a short bot for testing functions. The catch is that it only responds in group messages, but not in chats. I can't find the reason, no error appears.
from vk_api.longpoll import VkLongPoll, VkEventType
import vk_api
from datetime import datetime
import time
def write_msg(user_id, random_id, message):
vk_session.method('messages.send', {'user_id': user_id, "random_id":
random_id, 'message': message})
token = "тут мой токен"
vk_session = vk_api.VkApi(token=token)
session_api = vk_session.get_api()
longpoll = VkLongPoll(vk_session)
for event in longpoll.listen():
if event.type == VkEventType.MESSAGE_NEW and event.to_me and event.text:
if event.from_user:
write_msg(event.user_id, event.random_id, "первая фраза")
elif event.from_chat:
write_msg(event.сhat_id, event.random_id, "вторая фраза")
time.sleep(1)

The bot must be added to the conversation (To do this, you must enable
Возможности ботов(Управление->Сообщения->Настройки для бота) and allow you to add it to conversations (ibid.)).To use
Long Poll, you must enableLong Poll Api(Управление->Настройки->Работа с API->Long Poll API) and specify which events you want to catch (Типы событий).For a community bot, you should use
vk_api.bot_longpoll.In order for the bot to see the message, it must be mentioned (for example, @club666666), or the conversation administrator must give it a full name. access to correspondence.
I advise you to look at: I get an error when trying to send a message to a conversation via VK_API Python
Yesterday I encountered such a problem myself, today I described the solution: VkBotLongPoll ignores messages from the conversation
You probably forgot to check the box "Allow adding community to conversations" since even longpoll. listen() is not processed
This is the setting to go to Group Settings -> Messages -> Bot Settings
