1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Telegram to Google My Business Integration

To start the integration process, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate tasks between apps effortlessly. First, sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once you are logged in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it something descriptive, like ‘Telegram to Google My Business’.

After naming your workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window is where you will set up the Telegram integration, while the action window will handle the Google My Business posting. This setup is crucial for automating the image upload process.

2. Connecting Telegram to Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window, search for ‘Telegram Bot’ and select it. Then, choose the event ‘Set Webhook/Watch Updates’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor your Telegram group for new images and captions. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’.

• Create a bot using BotFather in Telegram.
• Add the bot to your Telegram group and make it an admin.
• Copy the API token provided by BotFather and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Once the connection is established, click on ‘Save’ and then ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This allows Pabbly Connect to wait for a new message in your Telegram group, confirming that the integration is functioning correctly.

3. Uploading Images from Telegram to Google My Business

After the connection is set up, you can test it by sharing an image with a caption in your Telegram group. As soon as you send the image, Pabbly Connect will capture the details, including the file name and caption. This confirms that your Telegram bot is working as intended.

Next, you will need to retrieve the image URL. For this, add another action step in your workflow by selecting ‘Telegram Bot’ again and choosing the action event ‘Get File’. This step is essential to obtain the image URL that will be posted to Google My Business.

• Map the file ID received from the previous step.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the image URL.
• Ensure the response contains the file path and URL.

With the image URL obtained, you’re ready to move on to the next step of posting to Google My Business.

4. Creating a Google My Business Post

In this step, select ‘Google My Business’ as your action app in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event ‘Create Post’. This step allows you to use the image and caption captured from Telegram to create a new post on your Google My Business profile.

Connect your Google My Business account by clicking on ‘Sign in with Google’. Once connected, you will need to select the business account and location where you want the post to appear. Next, map the caption from the Telegram message to the summary field of the post.

Choose the post type (e.g., call to action). Enter the action type and URL for the button. Paste the media source URL obtained from the previous step.

After entering all the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will create a post on your Google My Business profile with the image and caption you provided.

5. Testing the Integration

Now that your automation is set up, it’s time to test it. Share another image in your Telegram group with a caption. Pabbly Connect will automatically capture this new image and caption, creating a new post on your Google My Business profile.

Go to your Google My Business account and refresh the posts section. You should see the new post with the image and caption you just shared on Telegram. This confirms that your automation is working perfectly.

If you encounter any issues, double-check your configurations in Pabbly Connect and ensure that the Telegram bot is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions in the group.
