Required Work flow as below:
 
  1. Detect a .zip file in Telegram group,
  2. Upload it to Google Drive,
  3. Extract it with folder structure preserved,
  4. Upload extracted files and folders to Google Drive (Uploaded Folder name shall be same as Zip file Name).

 

Any one please guide me for this work flow with step by step detailed guidance.

Hi ​@naga456,

 

Welcome to the Community.

This creative automation idea requires multiple tools since Zapier doesn't natively support Telegram group file detection or ZIP extraction. The goal is to detect a ZIP file in a Telegram group, upload it to Google Drive, extract it while preserving folder structure, and save the contents in a folder named after the ZIP. You can use a Telegram bot with Make.com to detect the file, then upload it to Google Drive via Zapier or Make. For extraction, options include Make's ZIP module, a Google Apps Script, or the CloudConvert API. Make.com may be the better fit overall, as it supports Telegram triggers and ZIP handling more natively than Zapier.

Let us know if you need further assistance. Feel free to ask us.

Hi Thank you response.

 

But i am facing errors issues even for simple work flow also. i tried as below work flow.

 

  1. Detect a .zip or .rar archive file in Telegram group,
  2. Upload it to Google Drive,

for this can you please share detailed inputs to achieve 100% success rate by zapier 


Hi ​@naga456,

 

To detect a .zip or .rar file in a Telegram group and upload it to Google Drive using Zapier, follow these steps:

  • Set up a Telegram Bot: Create a bot via BotFather, get the API token, and add it to your group.

  • Bridge to Zapier: Since Zapier doesn’t natively support Telegram, use Integromat (Make) or a webhook to monitor group messages.

  • Detect Archive Files: Configure the scenario to trigger only when .zip or .rar files are shared.

  • Upload to Google Drive: In Zapier, use the webhook or Make scenario as the trigger, then add a Google Drive “Upload File” action and map the file data.

  • Check Permissions & Limits: Ensure the bot has read access, mind file size limits, and test with sample files.

  • Troubleshoot: Review Zapier task history or webhook logs for errors, and double-check the file detection setup.

  • Alternative: For more control, consider using a custom script to handle Telegram file processing and trigger Zapier afterward.
