Blue iris telegram bot setup

Hi all

new to this and followed the instructions at:

How To Send Blue Iris Images to Telegram - Smart Home Pursuits

This guide will show you how to send pictures and text messages captured from Blue Iris and Deepstack to a Telegram bot in 2021!

smarthomepursuits.com

and everything appears to be setup correctly. got the images loading into the folder asit should, but when I run the script, nothing comes through to the telegram group.


SET PICFolder=C:\BlueIris\Telegram_Alerts
::Get Latest File
for /f %%i in ('dir "%PICFolder%" /b/a-d/od/t:c') do set LAST=%%i
rem for /f %i in ('dir "%PICFolder%" /b/a-d/od/t:c') do set LAST=%i

CURL

https://api.telegram.org/bot5117555087:AAGT5JSPGVb3Rj26Thm0EpKuHcmXRXXXX/sendphoto

-F chat_id=-75004XXXX -F photo=@C:\BlueIris\Telegram_Alerts\%LAST%

I think it could be around Curl, but not sure where to begin fault finding, any ideas?

Hi there, do not know if you got it to work. but one issue could be that curl line should be as a one liner, and not two as it appears
