Overview

This node operation creates a new secret chat with a specified user on Telegram. It is useful for initiating private, encrypted conversations with another user by providing their user ID. For example, a user can automate the creation of secret chats for secure communication within a workflow.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a secret chat with a user by specifying their user ID to start an encrypted conversation.
2. Automating the setup of private chats for customer support or confidential discussions.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the newly created secret chat.
• type - The type of chat, which will indicate it is a secret chat.
• user_id - The user ID of the chat participant.
• state - The current state or status of the secret chat.

Dependencies

• Requires Telegram API credentials (API ID, API Hash, and phone number) for authentication.

Troubleshooting

• If the node throws an error about the session being closed or unauthorized, it means the Telegram session has expired or is invalid. The user must re-authenticate using the login process.
• Errors related to invalid user ID or permissions may occur if the user ID does not exist or the bot/account does not have access to create a secret chat with that user.
• Ensure the Telegram credentials are correctly set up and the session is active before executing this operation.
