Hi,
Describe the problem/error/question
I have a Telegram trigger Listen for incoming events (with a bot that has admin permissions to a group) and I’m trying to download the audio files but telegram download files node is randomly failing at this step for seemingly no reason. It has access to file_id and when I run it manually, it works every time.
What is the error message (if any)?
{
“errorMessage”: “Bad request - please check your parameters”,
“errorDescription”: “Bad Request: file_id not specified”,
“errorDetails”: {
“rawErrorMessage”: [
“400 - {"ok":false,"error_code":400,"description":"Bad Request: file_id not specified"}”
],
“httpCode”: “400”
},
