When to use this node #
Send a text message to a Telegram chat or channel.
Add Send Telegram Message to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.
Before you begin #
Connect Telegram in App Connections first. Select the intended account in this node; an account connected to a different service is not interchangeable. Available actions depend on the permissions granted to that connection.
Configure the fields #
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Telegram Bot | Connected Telegram bot account |
| Chat ID | Telegram chat ID(s) to send the message to. For multiple recipients, separate chat IDs with commas (e.g., 543356, 6546465, 1234454). Leave empty to use the default chat ID from your connection. You can enter specific chat ID(s) manually, use a variable like {{chatId1}} from the 'Get Chat ID' method, or set a default chat ID when connecting your bot. |
| Message Text | Text of the message to send (supports HTML/Markdown formatting) |
| Parse Mode (Optional) | Text formatting: HTML, Markdown, or MarkdownV2 (default: HTML) Choices: HTML, Markdown, MarkdownV2.Example/default shown in the editor: HTML. |
| Disable Web Preview (Optional) | Disable link previews: true or false (default: false) Choices: false, true.Example/default shown in the editor: false. |
| Silent Message (Optional) | Send silently without notification: true or false (default: false) Choices: false, true.Example/default shown in the editor: false. |
| Reply to Message ID (Optional) | ID of the message to reply to. Leave empty to send without replying. |
| Guest Query ID (Optional — Guest Mode) | If provided, sends this reply via Guest Chat Mode (answerGuestQuery) instead of the regular sendMessage. Use {{guestQueryId}} from 'Get Received Telegram Message' when isGuestMessage is true. Leave empty for normal bot-member behavior. |

Connect the next step #
Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.
Test it in a workflow #
- Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
- Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
- Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use Run only for a Manual workflow.
- Open Workflow Activity and check the outcome before enabling wider use.
If something goes wrong #
- Reconnect the account if authorization has expired, then verify its permissions on the specific resource.
- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the troubleshooting guide for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
