I am trying to do something very simple, but i just can't get it to work. I want to send a picture of a cat thats stored on my raspberry pi: /home/pi/Pictures/cat.jpg I have the flow like this: [image] And in the function i have the following: msg.payload = {chatId: msg.chatId, type: "photo", c…

Just for the record, my telegram is working fine with messages :slight_smile:

Sorry, not sure I understand your comment. Shared with whom? I was referring to debugging the issue.
