Overview

The Telegram CoPilot n8n node allows you to interact with Telegram's API, automating various user, chat, and message operations.
For the User resource and the Get User operation, this node retrieves information about a specific Telegram user by their ID.
This is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch details about a Telegram user, such as displaying user profiles, verifying user existence, or integrating Telegram user data into your workflows.

Example use cases:

  • Fetching Telegram user details for CRM enrichment.
  • Verifying if a user exists before sending them a message.
  • Logging user information for audit or support purposes.

Properties

Display Name Type Description
User ID String ID of chat (the unique identifier of the Telegram user whose information you want to retrieve). Required.

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the requested Telegram user. The structure of the output depends on the Telegram API's getUser response, but typically includes fields such as:

  "last_name": "Doe",
  "username": "johndoe",
  "phone_number": "+1234567890",
  // ...other Telegram user fields
}
  • All output is returned in the json field of each item.
  • No binary data is produced by this operation.
