Good afternoon to all! I want to implement sending files to telegram, but I don't know where to start? There is a folder on the computer (Debian OS) with video files from the camera, the file names have the format: 03\_09\_2021-17\_26. mkv. How do I detect new files in a folder and send them?

Take a look at the `watch` node
