FAQ

Questions about Send Poll.

What does the Send Poll action do in Telegram?

Sends a poll to a Telegram chat with the supplied question and answer options, supporting anonymous, quiz, and multiple-choice modes. Use the poll-answer trigger to collect responses.

What inputs does Send Poll require?

Required: Chat ID, Question, Options (JSON array). 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 Send Poll support batch operations?

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