1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Telegram and Drive Integration

To upload Telegram files to Google Drive automatically, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by opening your web browser and navigating to the Pabbly Connect website.

If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free, which takes only a couple of minutes. Existing users can simply sign in to their accounts.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once signed in, you will be taken to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This is where you will set up the integration between Telegram and Google Drive using Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow appropriately, e.g., ‘Upload Telegram File to Google Drive’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.

After creating the workflow, you will see two boxes: one for Trigger and one for Action. The Trigger will be set to Telegram, and the Action will be set to Google Drive, facilitating the automation using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Telegram

In the Trigger section, search for Telegram and select it. You will need to set the Trigger Event to ‘Set Webhook Slash Updates’ in Pabbly Connect. This step connects your Telegram account to the automation process.

To connect your Telegram with Pabbly Connect, you need a token. This token can be obtained by creating a new bot in Telegram. Search for ‘BotFather’ in Telegram, create a new bot, and copy the token provided.

4. Filtering and Formatting Data in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step involves formatting the received data. Use the ‘Text Formatter’ tool in Pabbly Connect to split the message text, which contains the file URL and any additional text.

• Select the action event as ‘Split Text’.
• Map the message text from the previous step.
• Use space as a separator for splitting.

This step ensures that only messages containing files are processed. You will then set a filter to check if the message includes a URL. This is crucial for ensuring that only relevant messages trigger the next action in your workflow.

5. Uploading Files to Google Drive Automatically

The final step involves setting up the action to upload files to Google Drive. In the Action section, select Google Drive and set the action event to ‘Upload a File’. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a vital role in automating the file upload process.

Connect your Google Drive account to Pabbly Connect by signing in and authorizing access. After connecting, you will need to map the file URL obtained from the previous steps to ensure the correct file is uploaded.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully automate the process of uploading files from Telegram to Google Drive using Pabbly Connect. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your files are organized and accessible in Google Drive.
