Hello team, I have read all the the threads on how to receive an image from a user, it seems you have to use the file trigger to obtain the URL, nevertheless how do you make the custom request to capture the image itself?.
Thanks!.

Hi Augusto,
Unfortunately there is no way to set up capturing an image from a user by custom request I’m afraid… A custom request will always be the bot sending something to the user as opposed to the user sending to the bot.
Hello Augusto, I can see you are conversant with receiving images from users. would you mind sharing how to receive an image and also a document from a user?
Thanks
That is what I am trying to figure out, how to get a grip on something like an image, or at least a temporary URL were to copy that sent picture from in Telegram. I saw this post that gives some orientation, but the answers were left unfinished.
If not by custom request at least I would love to know how to do it by file trigger, it seems something can be done that way.
Hi Augusto,
When the New File flow is triggered you are given a URL to where the file is stored in the output of the trigger.
There’s a couple of flows here that show the basic set up of asking for an image and the new file trigger:
When Flow 2 is triggered you’ll be able to see a URL for the file in your interaction logs:
Hope this helps.
