Overview

This node operation adds members to a specified Telegram chat, such as a Supergroup or Channel, by providing the chat ID and a list of user IDs to be added. It is useful for managing group memberships programmatically, for example, to automate adding users to a community or team chat.

Use Case Examples

1. Adding multiple users to a Telegram Supergroup by specifying the chat ID and a comma-separated list of user IDs.
2. Automating the process of inviting new members to a channel after they sign up on a platform.

Properties

Output

JSON

• chat_id - The ID of the chat where members were added.
• user_ids - The list of user IDs that were added to the chat.
• result - The response from the Telegram API indicating the success or failure of adding members.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Telegram (telePilotApi) to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Telegram API credentials are valid and the session is logged in; otherwise, the node will throw login-related errors.
• User IDs must be valid and the bot or user must have permission to add members to the chat; otherwise, the operation may fail.
• If the Telegram session is closed or unauthorized, re-login is required as indicated by error messages.
• Check that the chat ID corresponds to a Supergroup or Channel where adding members is supported.
