Problem with RSS-Feed to Telegram channel

[Otmar_Mayr]

I would like to publish daily posts from the RSS feed Persönlichkeiten in the Telegram channel @verwandteninfo.

I want only the title, image, and a link (Persönlichkeiten) to be visible.

I’ve also tried using HTML and markup, but unfortunately I’m getting error messages.

Is there a workaround for this?

Hii @Otmar_Mayr Welcome to the community!

Please share your scenario configuration screenshots, so people can understand what’s going on!

I want post from my two RSS feeds on Telegram, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Facebook. My last Telegram bot had worked perfectly (see the horse-drawn sleigh example), but he don’t work anymore .

How do I go about achieving this result with Make?

With HTML or Markdown I get errors. I recently tried also the “Send a photo to Telegram” scenario without result.

Thanks for sharing!

Can you share RSS module output as well, Especially the URL part for image expanded till last item, which is mapped in URL input of telegram.

Do you mean this?

[Prem_Patel]

No,

Run the Rss module, Click on Little bubble on top, and share that screenshot.

From the Image collection in RSS output, you can check higher quality image and just use that link in URL section as mapping in telegram module.

I don’t understand the connection between the higher image quality and the fact that the image isn’t posted on Telegram.

There’s only one image in each post, and it’s 425 pixels high.

I have the feeling that Make can’t handle my Atom RSS feed:

verwandten.info/persoenlichkeiten?format=feed&type=rss

There is no image url available in “image” section of output shared by you!

But in RSS feed output Fields there is “description” which contains image section in html, which looks like image URL. Follow these steps to extract that URL :

1. Use Text Parser module with “Get elements from html” option. Map description as in screenshot.

2. Out put of that will be SRC attribute, an image URL
   

   

3. Now you can map that in URL input field for image in Telegram.
   

   

Many feeds return 2 or more images with different quality. So, that’s the reason.

I think this will work for you!
