General
1

Hi iam able to download file(document) or photo from telegram but it saves as file_(number+)[example : file_5] is their any way to rename or save the file or photo with the name we want.. i want to keep replacing on the existing file soo having same filename could be useful
code i use to download documents

if (msg.payload.type === 'document'){
    msg.payload.download = {
        fileId: msg.originalMessage.document.file_id,
        filePath: "/config/tmp/)"
    }
    return msg;
}

How are you saving it?
What version of Node-RED are you using?
What node (full name please - i.e. node-red-contrib-??????) are you using?
Put a debug node - set ti display the complete msg object - on the output of the telegram node and expand it all and copy and paste it's information.
and export and pastine your flow would be helpful too.

Im using node-red-contrib-telegrambot to receive files to nodered from telegram
Im using nodered inside homeassistant as addon
NR verison: 13.4.0
im able to download and save file locally but it saves with name file_1 or file_2
Instead i want to save file with my own name .

if (msg.payload.type === 'document'){
    msg.payload.download = {
        fileId: msg.originalMessage.document.file_id,
        filePath: "/config/tmp/)"
    }
    return msg;
}

Not being a home assistant user, you might be better served asking on a homeassistant forum

@zenofmud no issue thanks for responding.. one small doubt:
how do i join two numbers together
say i want to join 77 and 99 together and look like 7799?
they both are numbers ...should i first change them to sting to get this work?

there may be more than one way to do it. I would do as below.

if you use the web request you can do it directly, if you use the function block you have to rename the file after downloading it
