Extracts the text and the possible first image from each message in a Telegram group/channel and saves both pieces of information in Dropbox

Effortlessly extract and save Telegram messages and images to Dropbox.

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when receiving a text message in a chat (telegram_users → webhook_all)
  • Get the file URLs from a Post ID (telegram_users → get_post_files_urls)
  • Get the components of a URL (site_inspector → get_url_parts)
  • Convert Timestamp into Text (datetime → timestamptostring)
  • Save file to Dropbox (dropbox → dropbox_convert)
  • Save text string to Dropbox (dropbox → save_string)

Manually extracting texts and images from every Telegram message in a busy group—then organizing those files in Dropbox—quickly becomes overwhelming. You waste hours copying, pasting, downloading, naming, and sorting content, risking inconsistencies and even missing vital information. The longer this manual process runs, the greater the time drain, the higher the risk of losing important data or team visibility, and the harder it is to maintain a reliable record for compliance, content curation, or personal archives.

This formula for Botize completely automates the drudgery: it instantly detects each incoming Telegram message, extracts the text, grabs the first available image (if any), and saves both—along with timestamps, chat IDs, and user info—to organized Dropbox files. The result? Every single message is reliably archived, searchable, and secure automatically, with images and text neatly matched by date and time. Customize it to match only select groups, tweak file naming, or set how often to check messages, all within a few clicks. What was once a chaotic manual routine is now a seamless, dependable backup pipeline.

Give yourself the peace of mind and efficiency boost you deserve—follow the simple step-by-step to set up this formula or activate the ready-made Botize automation. Your Telegram conversations will be neatly archived in Dropbox before you even notice, freeing up your time for real work instead of tedious data handling.
