Overview

The Telegram CoPilot node for n8n allows you to interact with Telegram's API, automating various chat-related operations. Specifically, for the Chat resource and the Open Chat operation, this node enables you to programmatically open a specific chat by its ID. This can be useful in workflows where you need to trigger actions or monitor activity in a particular Telegram chat.

Common scenarios:

  • Automating the process of opening a chat before sending messages or performing other chat-specific actions.
  • Integrating Telegram chat management into broader automation workflows (e.g., CRM updates, notifications).
  • Preparing a chat for further automated interactions within a sequence of n8n nodes.

Example use case:
You want to ensure a chat is active/open before sending a message or retrieving its history as part of a customer support workflow.

Properties

Display Name Type Description
Chat ID String ID of the chat to open. This is required and should be the unique identifier for the target Telegram chat. Example: "122323"

Output

The output of the Open Chat operation will be a JSON object containing the result of the openChat API call from Telegram. The structure typically includes details about the opened chat, such as:

{
  "_": "ok"
}
  • The actual structure may include additional fields depending on Telegram's response, but generally, a successful operation returns an acknowledgment (e.g., { "_": "ok" }).

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Telegram API via the TelePilot integration.
  • Credentials: You must configure and provide valid telePilotApi credentials in n8n, including your Telegram API ID, API Hash, and phone number.
  • n8n Configuration: No special environment variables are needed beyond standard credential setup.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Chat ID: If the provided Chat ID does not exist or is incorrect, the operation may fail with an error from Telegram.
  • Not Authenticated: If your Telegram session is not active or has expired, you may receive errors like "Please login: https://telepilot.co/login-howto".
  • Session Closed: If the client session was closed, you might see "Session was closed or terminated. Please login again".

How to resolve:

  • Double-check the Chat ID for accuracy.
  • Ensure your Telegram credentials are correct and that you are logged in.
  • If you encounter session errors, follow the login instructions at https://telepilot.co/login-howto and reconnect your account.
