Overview
This node, named "Telegram CoPilot," integrates with the Telegram API to perform various Telegram-related actions programmatically. Specifically for the User resource and the Create Private Chat operation, it allows creating a private chat with a specified user by their user ID. This can be useful in automation workflows where initiating direct conversations with users is required, such as customer support bots, notification systems, or personal assistants that interact with Telegram users.
Practical example: Automatically create a private chat with a new user who signs up on your platform, enabling you to send them welcome messages or gather additional information.
