Telegram image upload failing with HTTP error – wrong Telegram API while building image → video automation

:bullseye: What is your goal?

I’m facing an issue while building an automation in Make using Telegram + HTTP modules, and I’m stuck with a Telegram API error.

:thinking: What is the problem?

I’m not sure:

What is the correct way to fetch images from Telegram in Make

Whether I should use:

Telegram → Download a file

Or Telegram → Watch updates → file_id → getFile → download

Or if my HTTP request structure is wrong

:test_tube: What have you tried so far?

What I’m trying to build

A user uploads an image in Telegram

Make should fetch that image from Telegram

Use an HTTP request + OpenAI to generate a prompt

Send that prompt to Nano Banana to generate images

Pass those images to a Video Agent to create a video

Finally, send the generated video back to Telegram

Hey, Unnity! To grab an image from Telegram, set “Watch Updates” as your trigger. Then, use the “Download File” action on that same Telegram node and pass it to OpenAI using “Upload File.” From there, you’re all set to build out the rest of your flow.
