Common issues with Telegram in Duaer

Common Telegram node issues in Duaer: bot not in the channel, finding the Chat ID, the 30-per-second limit, and the attribution line.

Bot is not in the channel

On Forbidden: bot is not a participant of the channel, add the bot first: open the channel info in Telegram, choose Administrators > Add Admin, search for the bot username, and confirm.

Get the Chat ID

@channelusername only works for public channels. Groups need a Chat ID:

  • Receive a group message with Telegram Trigger; the output has chat.id.
  • Open the group in Telegram Web and prefix the digits after g in the address with -.

Send more than 30 messages per second

Telegram lets a bot send at most 30 messages per second. Use Loop Over Items with at most 30 chat IDs per batch, then a Wait of at least one second before looping back.

Remove the Duaer attribution from sent messages

By default the message ends with This message was sent automatically with Duaer. Add Append Duaer Attribution under Additional Fields and turn it off.
