How Can I Summarize a Telegram Group Chat's Full History for a BizDev Template?

I'm looking to create a summary of a Telegram group chat that captures more than just the 'last message seen'.
When using the standard Telegram nodes (such as “Get Chat”), I only get the current chat metadata rather than access to the entire message history. This is a challenge because BizDev teams see value in summarizing the full conversation, and it could even be a monetizable template.
The goal is to either retrieve or record the complete message history so that it can be processed and summarized over time. Ideally, I would set up a workflow that:
PYTHON# Pseudocode representing the idea if new_message: store_message(new_message)
This would allow me to continuously capture messages, then run a summarization process on the aggregated data.
Any guidance on achieving this, whether through an alternative API approach or by setting up a custom integration, would be appreciated.

The Telegram node operations are based on the Telegram Bot API, which means:
- Chat operations (like Get Chat) only provide current chat information (metadata) and do not retrieve the full message history.
- Bots can only access messages sent after they are added to a group. They aren’t designed to access previous messages; therefore, retrieving the entire historical conversation isn’t supported.
For a solution that summarizes a group chat, you might have to consider the following alternatives:
-
Capture New Messages:
Use the Telegram Trigger node to record incoming messages into a data store (or file) from the moment the bot is added. Then, run a summary operation on the collected messages. -
Custom Integration:
Consider building a custom integration (using a client API rather than the bot API) if you need to access historical messages. Note that Telegram’s bot API does not support fetching past message history. -
Monetizable Template:
While the current nodes are not designed for full chat history access, a workflow that continuously aggregates incoming messages and later generates summaries might serve your needs. This could indeed be an interesting template for business development if paired with complementary processing or natural language summarization tools.
If you choose to build a solution based on recording messages from the point of bot addition, you can later perform operations like summarization using additional tools (e.g., a Code node or external API for text summarization).
Let me know if you need further details or guidance on setting up such a workflow!
