Overview

This node operation sends an animation file to a specified Telegram chat. It supports sending animations either by referencing an existing file on Telegram servers, providing an HTTP URL, or uploading a binary file directly. The node allows customization of the message with captions, reply markup options (such as inline keyboards or reply keyboards), and other advanced Telegram API options. It is useful for automating the sending of animated content in Telegram chats, such as promotional GIFs, animated instructions, or fun animations in group chats or channels.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a GIF animation to a Telegram group chat by specifying the chat ID and animation file ID.
  2. Uploading and sending a custom animation stored in binary data from a previous node.
  3. Adding an inline keyboard to the animation message for interactive user responses.

Troubleshooting

  • If sending binary data, ensure the binary property contains valid file data and a file name is provided either in the binary metadata or the node's File Name parameter.
  • Check that the animation file format is supported by Telegram (e.g., GIF or MP4).
  • If using a file ID or URL, verify that the file exists and is accessible.
  • Common error messages include invalid chat ID, file not found, or insufficient permissions. Verify credentials and chat permissions to resolve these.
