How do I get info about a Telegram chat?

Short answer: You can get chat in Telegram by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Telegram Get Chat action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

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 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 Get Chat support batch operations?

Run Get Chat 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.
