Chat ID	`chatId`	`string`	Enter the unique identifier for the target chat (e.g. `1035597319`) or username of the target public chat (in the format `@channelusername` or `@supergroupusername`). For example, if the group's public link is `t.me/mygroup`, the username is `@mygroup`.

Media	`media`	`string`	File to send. Pass a file_id to send a file that exists on the Telegram servers, pass an HTTP URL for Telegram to get a file from the Internet, or pass the path to the file (e.g., `/tmp/myFile.ext`) to upload a new one using a file downloaded to `/tmp`. File must meet Telegram's requirements for MIME type and size.
Parse Mode	`parse_mode`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`MarkdownV2HTMLMarkdown`
Reply Markup	`reply_markup`	`string`	Enter additional interface options that are a JSON-serialized object including an inline keyboard, a custom reply keyboard, instructions to remove the reply keyboard or instructions to force a reply from the user, e.g. `{"inline_keyboard":[[{"text":"Some button text 2","url":"https://botpress.org"}]]}` or `{"keyboard":[["Yes","No"],["Maybe"]]}`. Note: keyboard cannot be used with channels. See the docs for more information.

Authentication#

Telegram Bot uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Telegram Bot account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Telegram Bot APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To use the Telegram Bot API, you must first create a new bot by chatting with the BotFather.
