Telegram Bot: Automatically uploads any Excel file you send to Google Drive, converting it into Google Sheets

Convert Excel files to Google Sheets automatically with Telegram Bots!

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when receiving a message, image, or file (telegrambot → webhook_txtimgdoc)
  • Get the file URL from a file ID (telegrambot → get_file)
  • Save file to Drive (drive → upload_file)
  • Reply to the user (telegrambot → reply)

Manually downloading Excel files sent via Telegram, then uploading them to Google Drive and converting them to Sheets, is a painstaking, repetitive process that eats up valuable time and leads to cluttered workflows. Every missed upload or delayed conversion increases the risk of outdated data, lost collaboration opportunities, and those frustrating moments searching for the latest version. If your team relies on shared spreadsheets, the cost of not automating—lost agility, wasted hours, bottlenecks—can be immense.

This Botize formula acts as your virtual assistant: the moment you attach any Excel file in a Telegram chat, it automatically uploads that file to your Google Drive and instantly converts it to a live Google Sheets document—no manual steps, no file juggling. You can customize which Telegram channels or chats it watches and even set rules on frequency or filters, making sure only the right files are processed. The transformation is striking: before, multiple steps, delays, and version confusion; after, a smooth flow straight from Telegram to Google Drive, keeping your team synced in real-time and your files always available and up to date.

Ready to put your document flow on autopilot? Follow the simple Botize step-by-step and see how effortless file management can be. Or jump straight in by activating this formula—your time, energy, and team will thank you for it!
