How do I pin a message in a Telegram chat?
Short answer: You can pin message in Telegram by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Telegram Pin Message action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
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}}"}
Returns
{"ok": true,"result": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.
Triggered by

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 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 Pin Message support batch operations?
Run Pin Message 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.
