Forwarding telegram images from one channel to another

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to forward messages from one telegram channel to another one. I managed to make it work for text, but images don’t work. I get an error everytime, no matter what I use in the “File ID” field of my “Download a File” module. Here’s my current scenario:

And here’s the error I get :

If anyone knows how to fix this that would be awesome! Thanks :slight_smile:

You are likely using the wrong variable.

There are different variables depending on the source of message, whether it is in a channel or group or direct message.

Try searching for a channel post message File ID variable, not a normal message File ID.

If the message source can be either, you can try using the ifempty function:

Yes that was the issue thanks a lot! I’m getting a new one on the last step, not sure what it is either (sorry, as you can tell I’m new to make.com hehe). Here’s a screenshot!

I tried with the “Send a photo” and “Send a document/image”, but I’m getting the same result. Here’s how I setup both of the modules.

If you’d read the description below, it says that field is for supergroups only.

You need to map the channel ID into the Chat ID field.
