Overview

This node sends a photo message to a specified Telegram chat. It supports sending photos either by referencing an existing file on Telegram servers, providing an HTTP URL, or uploading a binary file directly from the workflow. It allows customization of the message with captions, reply markup (such as inline keyboards or custom reply keyboards), and other Telegram-specific options. This node is useful for automating photo sharing in Telegram chats, such as sending images in response to events or user interactions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically send a promotional photo to a Telegram channel when a new product is added to an inventory system.
  2. Send a photo with an inline keyboard to a Telegram group chat for interactive user engagement.
  3. Upload and send a photo stored as binary data in the workflow to a Telegram user or group.
