1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for OneDrive and Telegram Integration

To automate file sharing from OneDrive to Telegram, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to connect different applications seamlessly. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free and get 100 automation tasks every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘OneDrive to Telegram Automation’ and click on the ‘Create’ button. This is where you will set up the trigger and action for your automation.

2. Creating a Trigger for New Files in OneDrive

The next step involves creating a trigger that will initiate the automation when a new file is uploaded to OneDrive. In the Pabbly Connect interface, choose Microsoft OneDrive as your trigger application. Select the trigger event as ‘New File’ and click on ‘Connect’.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your OneDrive account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your OneDrive files.
• Specify the folder path where the files will be uploaded.

After setting up the trigger, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect can successfully fetch the data from your OneDrive account. You should see a response that includes the downloadable URL of the most recently uploaded file.

3. Sending Files to Telegram Automatically

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action that sends the file to Telegram. In the Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select the Telegram application. Choose the action event as ‘Send Photo’ or ‘Send Video’ based on the file type you want to share.

To connect to Telegram, you will need to create a bot using the BotFather in your Telegram app. Once you have your bot set up, copy the API token provided by BotFather and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Make sure to add the bot to the group where you want to send the files.

• Input the chat ID of the Telegram group.
• Map the downloadable URL from the OneDrive trigger to the file URL field.
• Add a caption if desired and set the parse mode to HTML.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the file appear in your Telegram group automatically.

4. Creating Routes for Different File Types

To handle multiple file types, Pabbly Connect allows you to create routes. This means you can send images and videos to Telegram using different paths in your workflow. Start by clicking on the ‘Router’ option in your Pabbly Connect workflow.

For each route, you will need to set a filter that checks the file type. For example, if you want to send images, set the filter to check if the file type contains ‘image’. Similarly, create another route for video files and set the filter accordingly.

Clone the first route for video files. Change the filter value to ‘video’ for the second route. Map the video file URL to the appropriate field.

After setting up the routes, you can test each one by uploading files to your OneDrive folder and checking if they are sent to the correct Telegram group.

5. Testing and Verifying Your Automation

Once you have set up your workflow with triggers and actions, it’s essential to test the entire process. Upload a file to your specified OneDrive folder and observe the results in your Telegram group. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

If the file appears in your Telegram group, congratulations! Your automation is successfully set up. You can now share files automatically without manual intervention. If you encounter any issues, revisit the steps to ensure everything is configured correctly.

With Pabbly Connect, you can streamline your workflow and save valuable time by automating the file-sharing process between OneDrive and Telegram. This setup is especially useful for teams that need to share documents regularly.
