FAQ

Questions about Get Chat.

What does the Get Chat action do in Telegram?
Returns information about a Telegram chat (title, type, description, photo, member count for groups). Use to enrich an event with chat context before posting.
What inputs does Get Chat require?
Required: Chat 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 Get Chat support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Chat inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Telegram's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
