Send Poll

Summary

Send a Telegram poll to the specified chat, either as a regular poll or a quiz with a correct answer. The operation returns Telegram’s sent message object and can optionally reply to another message, include reply markup, and set an auto-close period.

Inputs

  • Bot Token (required) — Telegram bot token; defaults to the input item’s access_token or token.
  • Chat ID (required) — Chat where the poll will be sent; defaults to the input item’s chatId or channel.external_id.
  • Question (required) — Poll question text.
  • Options (comma-separated) (required) — Comma-separated answer options. The operation trims whitespace and removes empty entries.
  • Is Anonymous — Whether votes are anonymous; defaults to true.
  • Quiz (with correct answer) — When enabled, sends a quiz instead of a regular poll; defaults to false.
  • Correct Option Index (0-based) — Index of the correct option when quiz mode is enabled; defaults to 0.
  • Open Period (seconds) — Positive number of seconds before the poll closes automatically. Zero (the default) omits the auto-close setting.
  • Reply to Message ID — Positive Telegram message ID to reply to; defaults to 0, which sends the poll without a reply relationship.
  • Reply Markup — JSON reply markup passed to Telegram when it parses as an object with keys; invalid or empty markup is omitted.
  • Use Redis Rate Limit — When enabled, uses the optional Redis credential to throttle requests per bot; defaults to false.

Output shape

A Telegram sent message object on the Success output; the node also has User Blocked (403) and Error outputs.

Each successful input item produces one message object. A 403 is routed to User Blocked (403) with the input JSON and error details. Other errors are routed to Error only when n8n Continue On Fail is enabled; otherwise they are thrown. The node retries eligible Telegram 429 errors.
