Pipedream Telegram → n8n
4 Pipedream Telegram actions and 4 event sources, and the n8n nodes they become. Converted nodes keep your configured values; expressions like {{steps.x.$return_value}} are rewritten to n8n expressions. Pipedream app slug: telegram_bot_api.

Credentials
Create a Telegram credential in n8n (type telegramApi). Converted nodes reference it by name, so n8n links it on import when the names match. Pipedream connected accounts can't be exported and are deleted by April 30, 2027.
What "Fit" means
Direct: same operation, same inputs. Check output: the n8n node returns a different JSON shape, so later steps that read its result need a look. Partial: some options have no n8n equivalent. Mappings verified on 2026-10-13 against the Pipedream registry and n8n source.
Questions
Does n8n have a Telegram node?+
Yes. 4 of the 4 Pipedream Telegram actions listed here map to a native n8n node.
Will my Pipedream Telegram connection move to n8n?+
No. Pipedream exports only an account ID, never the token, and deletes connected accounts by April 30, 2027. Create a Telegram credential in n8n (type telegramApi) and select it on the converted nodes.
Are Pipedream Telegram triggers supported in n8n?+
4 of the 4 Pipedream Telegram event sources listed here have an n8n trigger node. The rest are rebuilt with a Schedule Trigger that polls the API, or a Webhook node.
What happens to code steps that call the Telegram API?+
Code steps keep working through a compatibility layer, and tokens read via this.<app>.$auth move to a secrets block in the Code node. Steps that use an npm SDK are rewritten to plain HTTP calls so they run on n8n Cloud.
