# Instantly when receiving a command — Telegram Bot

Botize method — `telegrambot.webhook_command` (trigger).

It is triggered every time the bot receives a command.

This is a trigger: it starts the task. A task has exactly one.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `command` *(string)* — Command
- `chat_source` *(string, one of: "any" = Task runs when receiving updates from anyone; "target" = Task runs when receiving updates from a specific user, group or channel, default: "any")* — Filters
- `chat_id` *(string)*

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `filter_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{from_id}}` *(int)* — From User Id
- `{{message_id}}` *(int)* — Message Id
- `{{from_name}}` *(text)* — From Username
- `{{chat_id}}` *(text)* — From Chat Id
- `{{text}}` *(text)* — User message
- `{{reply_to_message_username}}` *(text)* — Reply to message Username
- `{{reply_to_message_text}}` *(text)* — Reply to message Text
- `{{file_url}}` *(text)* — URL of the possible file or image that the user might have sent along with the command
- `{{type}}` *(text)* — Type of message
- `{{command}}` *(text)* — Command
- `{{language_code}}` *(text)* — Language code. IETF language tag of the user's Telegram client ('es', 'en-GB', 'pt-BR'). Optional: Telegram only sends it when the user has a language set, so it may arrive empty.
