and the telegram node also fires saying
msg.payload.chatId is empty
i set the file mode to buffer and the same information was displayed
show me your flow and the debug output of the camera
- add a debug on the output of the telegram command node
- add a debug on the output camera node
- add a debug (set to show complete message) just before the telegram reply node - lets see whats in there
inspect them - is everything in the right place?
Is the msg.payload.content a buffer?
is the msg.payload.chatId set correctly?
i am using the sample flow u sent above. i have done as u said. replacing the http node with a camera node and setting it as buffer
It works for me.
If you dont add the debugs - you'll never understand why it doesnt work.
It's likely your msg going into the telegram reply is mising 1 or more parts or the data is incorrect type.
Without debug nodes - its impossible to tell.
here is what i have with the debug nodes and wat they say
i can get images from my camera using motioneye but i dont know why it is not work here
The screenshot you have posted shows me that the camera node is not giving an image - but without doing what I asked, i have no idea.
Do that ^ and show me the debug output
I have sent a JPG to the family Telegram group, where my bot is also member. All users have received the JPG.

Hi. May I ask flow example? Thank you in advance.
Just put this in a function node and send it to the Telegram sender.
var payload = {
chatId: -12345678,
type: "photo",
content: "/home/pi/.node-red/static/back.png" };
return {payload};
chatID is the ID of the group! Change the path to the picture (in my case a static PNG).
Continuing the discussion from Taking a picture and sending it via telegram:
@eitijupaenoithoowohd, sorry for the late reply. Was on vacation!
