Overview

This node sends a video message to a specified Telegram chat. It supports sending videos either by referencing an existing file on Telegram servers, providing an HTTP URL, or uploading a binary video file directly. The node allows customization of the video message with options such as captions, duration, dimensions, and reply markup (e.g., inline keyboards or custom reply keyboards). It is useful for automating video sharing in Telegram chats, such as broadcasting announcements, sharing media content, or interacting with users via video messages.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a promotional video to a Telegram channel by providing a file ID of a video already uploaded to Telegram servers.
  2. Uploading and sending a new video file from binary data stored in the workflow to a specific chat.
  3. Sending a video with an inline keyboard for user interaction, such as buttons for feedback or navigation.

Troubleshooting

  • Check that additional fields like caption and reply markup are correctly formatted to avoid API errors.
