Telegram Inline Bot not call webhook

I've created new bot for Telegram. I've set /setinline in BotFather for my bot. I've added a webhook that is called when I send a message to bot but this webhook is not called if I write something in the bot chat without send any message.

Any idea how to solve?

Yes, it does, probably you're inspecting the wrong param, it will call the same webhook, first remember you set the webhook by doing:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/setWebhook?url=<YOUR_URL>

and like you mentioned, you need to enable /setinline through BotFather, then it will call your endpoint with a message with the following body:

{
    "query":"tex",
    "from": {
        "username":"user",
        "first_name":"firstname",
        "last_name":"lastname",
        "id": 8888888,
        "language_code":"en-US"},
    "id":"7777777",
    "offset":""
}

Remember it will call your endpoint on key-up you may receive a ton of request.
