Telegram bot triggered by a text message, asks for an image, and replies with a final message

Your Telegram bot now talks like a human, asks for the right thing (an image!), and always answers. No headaches. No code.

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when receiving a text message (telegrambot → webhook)
  • Ask user (telegrambot → ask)
  • Reply to the user (telegrambot → reply)

Managing user interactions in Telegram can quickly become inefficient and draining—especially when you need specific content, like images, from your audience. Manually responding to each message, requesting follow-up attachments, and ensuring you don’t miss replies eats away your time and energy. If you skip automating this sequence, you’re forced to constantly monitor chats and follow up on every request, which leads to lost hours, inconsistent data collection, and a poor experience for both you and your users.

This formula from Botize transforms manual message handling into an efficient, automated flow: the bot instantly reacts to any incoming message, asks users to attach an image, and finally acknowledges receipt with a custom reply. Everything happens seamlessly—no intervention or repeated reminders needed. You’re free to personalize every message, layer in extra steps (like saving images to Google Sheets or sending files to yourself), and adjust settings to match your workflow. The transformation is clear: instead of manual chasing and scattered images, you get a predictable user journey and reclaimed focus.

In minutes, you’ll have a streamlined process tailored to your needs, so you can focus on what matters most while your bot handles the rest.

This bot is triggered when it receives a text message from a user. It then asks the user to send an image. Once the image is received, the bot replies with a final text message. You will need to customize the text messages according to your needs. You may also consider adding an extra step to store the received image somewhere, such as a Google Sheets file, or to forward the image to yourself (your Telegram user).
