If you’re an existing user, simply sign in. Once logged in, navigate to the applications page and click on Pabbly Connect to access your dashboard. From the dashboard, you can create a new workflow to automate the sharing process.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Share OneDrive Files to Telegram’. Choose a folder to save this workflow, such as ‘OneDrive to Telegram Automation’.

This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for your automation. Now, you will see options for trigger and action applications. The trigger application will be Microsoft OneDrive, and the action application will be Telegram. The trigger event is set to ‘New File’ in OneDrive.

3. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger, search for ‘Microsoft OneDrive’ in the trigger window of Pabbly Connect. Select the trigger event as ‘New File’. This means the automation will activate whenever a new file is added to a specified folder in your OneDrive account.

• Search for Microsoft OneDrive in the trigger application.
• Select the trigger event as New File.
• Set the folder path for tracking new files.

Next, move to the action window and search for the Telegram bot. Select the action event as ‘Send Photo’. This action will send the file uploaded in OneDrive directly to your Telegram group. Make sure to establish a connection between Telegram and Pabbly Connect by providing the necessary token from your Telegram bot.

4. Connecting Microsoft OneDrive and Telegram in Pabbly Connect

To connect Microsoft OneDrive, click on ‘Connect’ in Pabbly Connect and authorize access to your OneDrive account. After successful authentication, specify the folder path where new files will be uploaded. This allows Pabbly Connect to monitor the folder for any new files added.

For the Telegram connection, you need to create a bot using BotFather in your Telegram account. Once the bot is created, copy the token provided and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Additionally, you will need to get the chat ID of the Telegram group where you want to send the file. This is crucial for the automation to work correctly.

5. Testing the Integration of OneDrive and Telegram

After setting up the connections, it’s time to test the integration. Upload a new file to the specified OneDrive folder. Then, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will check if the automation works correctly and if the file details are captured.

If everything is set up properly, you will receive a positive response indicating that the file has been successfully sent to your Telegram group. You can check your Telegram group to verify that the file has been shared along with the caption you specified in Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully automated the process of sharing OneDrive files to Telegram using Pabbly Connect. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your team is always updated with the latest files shared in your OneDrive account.
