1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Email Attachments

Pabbly Connect is the powerful automation platform that allows you to integrate Gmail with Telegram seamlessly. In this tutorial, we will explore how to set up a workflow to send email attachments from Gmail to Telegram automatically. This integration is perfect for businesses that need to share documents quickly with their team.

To begin, access Pabbly Connect and sign in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free and receive monthly tasks. Once signed in, you will be ready to create your first workflow to automate sending email attachments.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right of your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this integration, you can name it ‘Gmail to Telegram’. This name will help you identify the workflow later.

Next, you’ll see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result. In this case, the Trigger will be when an email is received in Gmail, and the Action will be to send the email attachment to Telegram. This clear structure simplifies the automation process.

3. Setting Up Email Parser in Pabbly Connect

For the Trigger application, select ‘Email Parser’ from the list of options in Pabbly Connect. This tool is designed to extract details and attachments from incoming emails. Upon selection, an email address will be generated for you to use.

Now, head over to your Gmail account. Click on the settings icon in the top right corner, then navigate to ‘See all settings’. In the settings menu, go to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab. Here, you will add the email address generated by Pabbly Connect as a forwarding address. This step ensures that all incoming emails will be forwarded to the email parser.

• Click on ‘Add a forwarding address’ and paste the generated email address.
• Confirm the forwarding address by entering the verification code received in Pabbly Connect.
• Save changes in Gmail settings.

After saving the changes, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Re-capture Email Parser Response’ to ensure it is ready to receive the forwarded emails. This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to extract attachments from the emails sent to the parser.

4. Configuring Telegram Integration in Pabbly Connect

Once the email parser is set, it’s time to configure the action step. For the Action application, select ‘Telegram Bot’ from the options in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Send Document/Image’. This action will send the extracted email attachment to your specified Telegram chat.

To connect Telegram to Pabbly Connect, you will need a Telegram bot token. To create a bot, open Telegram and search for ‘BotFather’. Start a chat and follow the instructions to create a new bot. After creating the bot, copy the token provided and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Create a new group in Telegram and add your bot as a member.
• Promote the bot to admin in the group settings.
• Copy the group chat ID and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

After configuring the Telegram settings, you can map the email subject as the caption for the document being sent. This mapping ensures that whenever an email with an attachment is received, the details will automatically populate in the message sent to Telegram.

5. Testing the Integration Between Gmail and Telegram

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration. Send an email with an attachment to your Gmail account. Once the email is received, Pabbly Connect will capture the email and extract the attachment using the email parser.

Go back to Pabbly Connect and check for the response. If the setup is correct, you should see the email details and the attachment link appear in the captured response. This confirms that Pabbly Connect successfully parsed the email.

Verify that the attachment link is correct and accessible. Send a test request to Telegram to ensure the document is delivered. Check your Telegram group for the received document.

If you see the document in your Telegram group, congratulations! You have successfully integrated Gmail and Telegram using Pabbly Connect. This automation will save you time and streamline communication with your team.
