Track file uploads in Telegram
Keep an eye on what's being uploaded — large files, unusual types, heavy buckets — and route the ones worth a second look.

the event
You emit file.uploaded with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.
- user_idstring
- file_idstring
- size_bytesnumber
- mimestringcontent type
- bucketstring
emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("file.uploaded", {
user_id: ctx.user.id,
file_id: object.key,
size_bytes: object.size,
mime: object.contentType,
bucket: object.bucket,
}, {
idempotencyKey: object.key,
});route it to Telegram
Message a person, group, or channel through a connected bot.
- 01
connect a bot
Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token. We register the webhook and verify it in-region.
- 02
start a chat
Send /start to the bot from the target chat — or add it to the group/channel — then pick the chat from the list.
- 03
format the text
Messages use MarkdownV2; the default template bolds the event name and lists fields. Reserved characters in field values are escaped for you.

notes
- Telegram caps a bot at roughly 30 messages per second overall, and one per second to a single chat.
- The bot must be added to a group — and promoted to admin for a channel — before it can post.
- MarkdownV2 requires escaping characters like _ * [ ] ( ); ingestlayer escapes field values, but custom templates are your responsibility.
questions
- Can I flag unexpected file types?
- Branch on the mime field so an executable in a documents bucket reaches the channel while ordinary uploads stay quiet.
- How do I watch storage growth?
- Land every upload in Postgres with size_bytes and bucket, and aggregate by bucket over time.
- Does the file itself pass through?
- No — only the metadata you send. The bytes stay in your storage; ingestlayer routes the event, not the object.
