### What are you trying to achieve?

Hey everyone,

I’ve set up an automation where my Telegram Bot watches updates and processes both text and images. The workflow is supposed to:  
1. Extract text and image from Telegram.  
2. Send the text to OpenAI.  
3. Send text and the original image back to Telegram.

### Steps taken so far

I tried many different scenarios (in the image is how I imagine it to be done). ChatGPT shouldnt and cant process the image, so I need somehow to route the image alongside the text so that both can be sent in the Telegram “Send a Photo”

Any help or insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

### Screenshots: scenario setup, module configuration, errors

Hey there,

as I understand you need to send the ChatGPT output with the original image back right? In that case you dont need the router at all, just Watch Updates → Create Prompt → Send Photo.

With the router as in your screenshot, the Send Photo module doesn’t have access to what ChatGPT is outputting and you can’t directly map it there.
