Hello everyone, l’m a new user of this platform and I need your help.
I want to set up the following structure:
I send a message with text and attach 5 files to it, then send it to my private Telegram bot. The files should be uploaded to Google Drive, and the text should be saved in a Google Document.
The structure seems clear, but I’m stuck at the first step. I’m using “Watch Updates” as the first module, but it only captures the first message.
Telegram actually splits my single message (with text and 5 attached files) into 5 separate messages. As a result, “Watch Updates” triggers only once and processes just one of them.
My question is: how can I make this work?

Guys, I need help, the question is still relevant…
Is there a way to make an HTTP request to the Telegram API to get the file IDs from the media\_group\_id assigned in the first message?
Gyz, I need help…

Also new here but are you using an aggregator? It seems like when you have multiple bundles you need the aggregator, and I think each image is a bundle.

> Watch Updates
No, the aggregator has nothing to decompress, since the data from Watch Updates comes only with information about the first file, the rest is skipped…
