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.

emit file.uploaded
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.

  1. 01

    connect a bot

    Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token. We register the webhook and verify it in-region.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

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.
