only getting the first image in 4 different formats .  
is there a way around to get the data of all the files from the first channel.

Hi 👋🏾

This, actually, is caused by the Telegram Bot API.

Multiple images in one message are always being sent in multiple webhooks from Telegram’s side.  
Each with a unique “_Message ID_”.  
This means multiple images sent in one message trigger your scenario multiple times.

In case the images are sent in “Group items” mode, they all have a different “_Message ID_” but the same “_media\_group\_id_”.

I am not really sure whether it could be applied to your scenario idea but you potentially could have one scenario collecting image data with their IDs and “_media\_group\_ids_” which you could save to the Data Store and then a secondary scenario that would output (and group) the images data based on the “_media\_group\_id_”.

I hope it makes sense.

Cheerio.
