Telegram Overview#

The Telegram Bot API allows you to build bots that can interact with users on the Telegram platform. Using Pipedream, you can automate messaging, handle commands, and trigger actions based on conversations or alerts. Pipedream's serverless execution model enables you to create complex workflows involving Telegram messages without managing any infrastructure. With Pipedream's integration, you can process inbound messages, send outbound notifications, and connect the Telegram Bot API with numerous other services to create powerful automation solutions.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Telegram	`telegramBotApi`	`app`	This component uses the Telegram app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
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`.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Telegram#

Telegram, is a cloud-based, cross-platform, encrypted instant messaging (IM) service.
