FAQ

Questions about Delete Message.

What does the Delete Message action do in Telegram?
Deletes a message from a Telegram chat. Bots can only delete their own messages (or any message in groups where they're admin); messages older than 48 hours in private chats cannot be deleted.
What inputs does Delete Message require?
Required: Chat ID, Message ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Telegram returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Delete Message support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Message inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Telegram's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
