  • Media Source — Choose URL or File ID (default) or Binary Data.
  • Media (URL or File ID) — Photo URL or Telegram file_id when Media Source is URL or File ID; defaults to the incoming item's media[0].url or url.

  • Caption Entities — Optional JSON array of Telegram message entities for formatting the caption; defaults to the incoming item's entities.

Output shape

Three outputs: Success returns one Telegram Message object per successfully sent photo; User Blocked (403) carries the original item's JSON plus error details for 403 responses; Error carries the original item's JSON plus error details for other failures when n8n Continue On Fail is enabled.

The node retries eligible Telegram 429 responses up to three times when a retry_after value is available. Without Continue On Fail, non-403 errors are thrown. Items retain pairing to their input item.
