I have build a Telegram bot to record voice messages. These voice messages are transcribed and uploaded to my Notion page. I use this to send Ideas to Notion. GPT structures the Ideas and creates a summary for me. I also would love to upload the audio file from Telegram into Notion. This only works with a URL (as far as I know).
I can tried to upload the audio-file into Google Drive. This works. I can also listen to the audio-file in Google Drive. However, Notion cannot read this link.
Is there a possibility to put Telegram audio into Notion?
Hey Andrej,
In downloading the file from Telegram, please try to follow these steps here:
In this case, you will need two HTTP Get a file module to be able to extract the file/image from that Telegram message.
api - How do I download a file or photo that was sent to my Telegram bot? - Stack Overflow.
​Steps:
​
​1.) After the Watch Module, add a Get A File HTTP Module (1) then use this as the URL:
​
https://api.telegram.org/bot<bot_token>/getFile?file_id=the_file_id
​
Note: Please make sure to use the FILE ID from the ATTACHMENT as if the image is sent as a PHOTO OR VIDEO, for some reason, the Telegram server is sending the thumbnail, not the actual image itself. It should be attached as a FILE.
​
2.) After the Get a File module, add a “Parse JSON” module then map the DATA. This will then parse the JSON format into a mappable/understandable format.
​
3.) Add another Get a file HTTP module then use this as a URL:
https://api.telegram.org/file/bot<token>/<file_path>
​
The last HTTP module will then give you the DATA and FILENAME. Then try to store the record to a drive let’s say Google Drive, Upload a File module. Then next is then map the “web content URL” from the Gdrive module to that URL field for the audio in your Notion module.
I hope this helps!
