Add bold to Telegram message

fedatletismeib · March 30, 2022, 4:11pm

Hi all.
I’m using the simple code below to send the last Tweet to my Telegram Bot. I want to format Nou tweet publicat in bold, but I can’t find the way. I try using Nou tweet publicat but Telegram does not format as bold, only adds the **

Nou tweet publicat: {{event.url}}

Thanks.

Hi @fedatletismeib

First off, welcome to the Pipedream community. Happy to have you!

I assume you’re using the Send Text Message or Reply action, but if that’s not the case let me know!

Which parse mode are you using? That option dictates how the special characters are formatted in your messages:

And here’s the reference to Telegram’s formatting:

Hi, thanks for the reply.
This is the parse type:

Hi @fedatletismeib sorry I should have been more clear, I meant this value in particular. Did you happen to pick one of these options or are you just using the default?

Hi. I’m using the default option. I don’t have the Parse Mode box.

Thanks for the help.

Hi @fedatletismeib

That might be the issue, you will need to select one of those options to enable special formatting like bold & italics. I’d say read that documentation I shared and pick a format and try it out to see if that solves your problem!
