I’m trying to have images and videos get posted to my Discord server channel every time a post gets posted on my Telegram channel.

I have found multiple scenario tutorials that use “Download a file” from telegram in this manner:

but that’s when I get the error:  
"Missing value of required parameter ‘fileId’.

And then to Discord, I have this setup, but it of course hasn’t reached this part yet.

Are there any Make experts out there that can help?

Welcome to the Make community!

You are using the wrong variable. Telegram output has two different variables depending on the message type.

You are using the Group or Private message variable. Look for and replace it with the Channel attachment variable.

For more information, search for one of my previous posts about this.
