You can receive any form of a file with the Telegram trigger. To send a file from the OPC Router to Telegram, you need the Telegram Transfer Object. To send a file to the OPC Router, e.g. an image, you have to enter the trigger command as description. However, the file name of the image is not sent and you have to give the file a new name if you want to save the file.
