Your Personal Telegram CoPilot

Overview

The node "Telegram CoPilot" integrates with the Telegram API to perform a wide range of chat-related operations. Specifically, for the Chat resource and the Open Chat operation, it opens a specified chat by its ID, making it active or accessible in the Telegram client session managed by the node.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where automated workflows need to interact with Telegram chats programmatically, such as opening a chat before sending messages, retrieving chat history, or managing chat members. For example, a user might automate customer support by opening a chat with a customer and then sending predefined messages or fetching chat details.

Properties

Name Meaning
Chat ID The unique identifier of the chat to open. This is a required string input.

Output

The output is a JSON array containing the response from the Telegram API after attempting to open the chat. The structure typically includes detailed information about the chat that was opened, such as chat metadata and status.

No binary data output is associated with this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Telegram API.
  • Depends on the internal connection manager to handle Telegram client sessions.
  • The node uses the Telegram TDLib (Telegram Database Library) via a client wrapper to invoke API methods.
  • Proper login/authentication must be established beforehand using the login operations provided by the node.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Attempting to open a chat without being logged in will result in errors. Ensure the Telegram account is authenticated using the login flow.
    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Chat ID will cause the operation to fail with a "Chat not found" error.
    • Insufficient permissions (e.g., not a member of the chat) may prevent opening certain chats.
  • Error Messages:

    • "Please login: https://telepilot.co/login-howto": Indicates the Telegram session is not authenticated. Follow the login instructions.
    • "Chat not found": The specified Chat ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
    • "A closed client cannot be reused, create a new Client": The Telegram client session was closed unexpectedly; re-authenticate.
  • Resolution Tips:

    • Use the node's login operations to authenticate before performing chat operations.
    • Verify the Chat ID is correct and that the authenticated user has access rights.
    • If session issues occur, clear local session data and re-login.
