How It Works​

The Create Channel node creates a new Telegram channel. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the provided inputs (Client Id and Title)
  2. Creates a private channel with the specified title and optional description
  3. Optionally assigns a username to make the channel public
  4. Returns the channel's ID and access hash as output

Requirements​

  • A valid Telegram client session with appropriate permissions
  • Valid title for the channel
  • Client Id must match an existing Telegram client session

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Client Id
  • Empty or invalid Title

Usage Notes​

  • The channel will initially be created as private
  • Adding a username will make the channel public and discoverable
  • The output contains the channel's ID and access hash which can be used in other Telegram operations
  • The Client Id must correspond to an active Telegram client session
