How do I pin a message in a Telegram chat?
Short answer: Drop the "Telegram → Pin Message" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Chat ID chat_id | string | Required | Chat ID |
Message ID message_id | string | Required | Message ID |
Sample request
{"chat_id": "{{trigger.chat_id}}","message_id": "{{trigger.message_id}}"}

FAQ
Questions about Pin Message.
What does the Pin Message action do in Telegram?
Pins a specific message at the top of a Telegram chat. Bot must be admin in groups/channels with the pin permission.
What inputs does Pin Message require?
Required: Chat ID, Message 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 Pin Message support batch operations?
Yes. Run Pin Message inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Telegram's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
