Forward Telegram media to WhatsApp with efficiency
Telegram media gets forwarded to WhatsApp instantly using media IDs that WhatsApp already has on file, eliminating upload delays.
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
Send media by
Send media using a media id from previously uploaded media. this is more efficient than sending media by url as the media is already on whatsapp servers. use upload media action first to get the media id. note: the media will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
You're forwarding media between platforms but waiting for re-uploads each time instead of leveraging WhatsApp's existing media library.
- Speed up media delivery by skipping re-uploads
- Reduce bandwidth usage with pre-stored media
- Automate efficient media sharing across platforms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and WhatsApp to Notis in the portal
- 2Tell Notis: 'Forward media from Telegram to WhatsApp using media IDs from our library'
- 3Notis creates an automation that checks for existing media and forwards by ID when available
- 4Configure a fallback to upload new media if IDs aren't found
- 5Test by sending media in Telegram and verify it appears on WhatsApp using efficient media ID routing
Questions about this workflow
What if media isn't in the WhatsApp library?
Notis will upload it automatically and use the new ID going forward, so future sends are efficient.
Does this work for all media types?
Yes, images, videos, audio, documents, and stickers all support media ID forwarding.
