Windmill HubSend messages and photos, and manage chats and members, through the Telegram Bot API — from any Windmill script, flow or app.
Set up in 3 steps
Create a bot with BotFather
In Telegram, search for BotFather and start a chat. Send /newbot, then follow the prompts to name your bot — BotFather replies with the API token.
Add the resource in Windmill
Open Resources, add a resource of type telegram, and paste the token.
Run your first script
Fork any script below and send a message to a chat your bot has been added to.

Questions
Is my token stored on the hub?
Never. It lives only in your own Windmill workspace, encrypted at rest.
How do I find a chat id?
The Bot API has no way to list chats — an id only arrives in an update. Message your bot, then run the list chats script below: it returns the pending updates, each carrying its chat id.
My bot does not see messages in a group
Bots run in privacy mode by default and only receive commands and replies. Send /setprivacy to BotFather to turn it off.
