How do I forward a Telegram message to another chat?

Short answer: You can forward message in Telegram by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Telegram Forward Message action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

Questions about Forward Message.

What does the Forward Message action do in Telegram?

Forwards a message from one Telegram chat to another, preserving the original sender. Useful for mirroring an announcement to multiple groups.

What inputs does Forward Message require?

What happens if Telegram returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Telegram returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Forward Message support batch operations?

Run Forward Message inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Telegram's rate limits.
