Retrieve Gmail Email Attachments on Demand from Telegram
Someone needs a file you sent via email? Mention it in Telegram, and Notis fetches the attachment instantly. No email hunting, no resending.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Get Gmail attachment
Retrieves a specific attachment by id from a message in a user's gmail mailbox, requiring valid message and attachment ids.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders constantly re-send files because colleagues can't find the original email. Time wasted searching instead of doing work.
- Share files without resending or hunting through email
- Keep file versions centralized in Gmail
- Reduce file-sharing delays
- Work in Telegram without breaking focus for email
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Set up your automation: 'When someone asks for a file in Telegram, retrieve it from Gmail and share it here.'
- 3Choose 'New Message Received' as your trigger and select Telegram for alerts.
- 4Test by asking for a file in Telegram and verify the attachment downloads or links appear instantly.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which email has the file?
You describe it in Telegram, like 'the Q3 budget spreadsheet' and Notis finds the Gmail email with that attachment.
What if multiple versions of a file exist?
Notis can fetch the most recent version or ask you which one you need. You control the logic.
Are there file size limits?
Notis can share files up to Gmail's size limits. Very large files are linked for download rather than embedded.
