How do I use Zapier to upload an Instagram image to a Telegram channel via a custom bot?

I have a zap set up to extract an image from an instagram post and save it to my google drive. Now is there a way to get my custom telegram bot to attach that file to an telegram message and upload it to my telegram channel? I can get it to put a link and that will show the image, but it’s not uploading the image like a user would. The point here is to have the image show up in the channels media, just as if I were to upload it manually myself.

Hi there @JDZAPCOM,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

Uploading attachments in Telegram is not possible at the moment. However, we do have an existing feature request for this exact functionality. I have added you as another interested member. That does a few things:

  • Bring this to the attention of the integration developers
  • Help track interest in this feature being implemented
  • Allows us to notify you via email if this feature becomes available in the future

While I don't have an ETA on when this feature might be implemented, we will notify you via email if it is!

You can also stay in the loop/follow along with updates on the main thread here: 

Hopefully, this helps!
