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 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 Bot Info support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get Bot Info inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Telegram's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
