How do I list admins of a Telegram group?

Short answer: You can get chat administrators in Telegram by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Telegram Get Chat Administrators 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 Administrators.

What does the Get Chat Administrators action do in Telegram?
Lists the administrators of a Telegram group or channel, including their per-admin permission flags. Useful for moderation tools that need to know who can act.
What inputs does Get Chat Administrators 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 Administrators support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Chat Administrators inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Telegram's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
