FAQ

Questions about Get Bot Info.

What does the Get Bot Info action do in Telegram?

Returns metadata about the bot itself: ID, name, username, and capability flags. Mostly used as a connection-check during setup.

What inputs does Get Bot Info require?

Get Bot Info has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

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 Bot Info support batch operations?

Run Get Bot Info 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.
