1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Telegram and Google Drive Integration

To start the process of automatically saving Telegram photos to Google Drive, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Head to the Pabbly Connect dashboard by visiting pabbly.com/connect. From here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin.

Once you’re in the workflow setup, you can use the Quick Builder to create a new workflow. Simply input a prompt stating, “Create a workflow where Telegram images get uploaded to Google Drive.” This initiates the integration process between Telegram and Google Drive through Pabbly Connect.

2. Configuring the Telegram Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set up the Telegram trigger within Pabbly Connect. Select the Telegram application and choose the event as “Set Webhook” or “Watch Updates.” This allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your Telegram account for new images.

After selecting the event, you will be prompted to connect your Telegram account. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and follow the instructions to generate a token using BotFather. Here’s a quick overview of the steps:

  • Log into your Telegram account.
  • Create a new bot by messaging BotFather.
  • Copy the token provided by BotFather.

Once you have your token, paste it into the Pabbly Connect interface and save your settings. This ensures that Pabbly Connect can access your Telegram account to retrieve image details.

3. Testing the Telegram Integration with Pabbly Connect

To test if the Telegram integration is working correctly, send an image in your Telegram group where the bot is added. After sending the image, return to Pabbly Connect and click on “Save and Send Test Request.” This will capture the image details, confirming that the trigger is functioning properly.

You should see the details of the image displayed in the response section of Pabbly Connect. This indicates that every time an image is sent to the Telegram group, it will be captured by Pabbly Connect.

4. Configuring Google Drive Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the Telegram trigger, the next step is to configure the Google Drive action. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Drive as the action application. Choose the event as “Upload a File” to save the received image automatically.

Connect your Google Drive account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button. Follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Drive. After establishing the connection, you will need to specify the folder ID where you want to save the images. You can find this ID by navigating to the desired folder in Google Drive.

  • Select the folder in Google Drive for image uploads.
  • Map the file URL from the Telegram trigger response.
  • Provide a name for the uploaded file.

After filling in these details, click on “Save and Send Test Request” to complete the setup. This action will upload the Telegram image to your specified Google Drive folder.

5. Verifying the Integration between Telegram and Google Drive

To verify that your integration is working, send another image to your Telegram group. Then, refresh your Google Drive folder to check if the image has been uploaded successfully. You should see the image appear in your Google Drive, confirming that Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

This automation not only saves time but also ensures that all your important Telegram images are backed up instantly.
