Hi,

this is something you will filter after the webhook?

IMHO this shouldn’t be a functionality of the node itself.

In addition, why would you need to use a code node to filter out a chatid?

Its pretty simple. i want to output only chatid field from incoming “message” from the trigger node for next node to handle. as for your question on code node is there any other way to extract the relevant fields from the full message ? Here’s the code node js code for telegram trigger node input (full message) -
return {
chat_id: $input.all()[0].json.message.chat.id,
update_id: $input.all()[0].json.update_id
};
