Trigger
Workflow entry point and event payload
The Trigger block is the entry point of a workflow. It defines when automation starts and exposes event data for other blocks to use.
How the trigger works
Monitoring
Continuously watches Telegram events according to your conditions
Launch
When the event occurs, the workflow runs immediately—for example, when the account receives a new message.
Data
Saves the event fields you need into variables—message text, sender ID, chat ID, and more.
Available triggers
New message
Runs when a new message arrives in any connected chat
Fields provided:
Chat (chat)
Message ID (message_id)
Message text (text)
Sender ID (from_user_id)
Sender username (from_username)
Chat type (chat_type)
Media (media)
Reply to message (reply_to_message)
Using the data
Everything from the trigger is stored in variables and can be referenced in other workflow blocks.
Example in AI Text:
Prompt: "Reply to user {{name}} about their message: {{text}}"Example in Action:
Send message to chat (@... or ID or chat name): {{chat}}
Text: "Hi, {{name}}!"Important notes
- •Every workflow must start with a Trigger block or a Schedule block
