In short

How do I find files that were shared in a Telegram group chat?

Every night WebRun opens Telegram, goes through the group chats you nominate, and lists every photo and document shared that day with the sender, the time, and the chat. It files the index onto a dated Trello card per chat and sends a WhatsApp summary, so nothing is lost to scrollback.

  • A document shared last week is found without scrolling the chat
  • Every file is traceable to a sender, a time, and a chat
  • Contracts and invoices shared in chat are called out the same night

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it read all my Telegram chats?

No. It opens only the chats and groups you nominate, and it looks at shared attachments rather than archiving the conversation text.

Does it copy the files somewhere else?

No. File uploads are blocked by the run policy, so WebRun records the file name, sender, time, and a link back to the message. The file itself stays in Telegram.

Will it post or reply in a chat?

No. WebRun never sends a message in Telegram. The only thing it writes is the Trello index and the internal WhatsApp summary to you.

Put this on autopilot.
