Overview

This node handles the login process to Telegram using a phone number via a ChatTrigger interface. It supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) and allows users to manage their Telegram client sessions through chat commands. Common scenarios include automating Telegram login workflows, managing sessions, and interacting with Telegram's authentication states programmatically. For example, users can start the login process, provide authentication codes, stop sessions, clear local session data, and check session status all through chat commands.

Use Case Examples

1. Starting login with /start command to initiate phone number login and MFA if required.
2. Stopping the current Telegram session with /stop command.
3. Clearing local session data with /clear command to force a fresh login.
4. Checking which Telegram credentials are in use with /cred command.
