Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Telegram Bot Token?
Open Telegram and search for @BotFather. Send the command /newbot, follow the prompts to name your bot, and BotFather will give you a token string. Copy that token into the Telegram node credentials in n8n.
How do I find my Telegram channel Chat ID?
For public channels, you can use the channel username prefixed with @ (e.g. @mychannel). For private channels or groups, forward a message from that chat to @userinfobot and it will reply with the numeric Chat ID. Use that number in the `Chat ID` field.
Can I monitor multiple RSS feeds at once?
Yes — duplicate the entire workflow for each feed, or add multiple RSS Feed Read nodes each pointing to a different URL, all feeding into the same Set and Telegram nodes. n8n will process each source independently and send separate messages for each new article.
