How do I send a Telegram message from my bot?

Short answer: You can send message in Telegram by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Telegram Send Message action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Send Message.

What does the Send Message action do in Telegram?

Sends a text message to a Telegram chat with optional Markdown or HTML formatting and inline keyboard. The bread-and-butter Telegram action for notifications, alerts, and bot replies.

What inputs does Send Message require?

Required: Chat ID, Message Text. 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 Send Message support batch operations?

Run Send 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.
