It can be text-only, a file-only (like a PDF or image), or a file with a text caption.\n* **Output:** The workflow intelligently separates the content. You get the plain text in one field and the ready-to-use file (as binary data) in another, perfectly prepared for the next step.\n\n### \u2705 **What You Get**\n* **Smart Content Routing:** Automatically detects if a message contains text, a file, or both, and sends it down the correct processing path. No complex `IF` logic needed!\n* **Clean Data Separation:** Neatly extracts text from messages or captions and isolates file attachments, preventing data mix-ups in your automations.\n* **Ready-to-Use Files:** Downloads attachments and provides them as binary data, perfect for saving directly to cloud storage or sending to other services for processing.\n\n### \ud83c\udfaf **Perfect For**\n* Building chatbots or automated support bots on Telegram.\n* Creating a system to automatically archive documents or images sent to a group.\n* Anyone who needs to reliably process varied and unpredictable messages from Telegram users."
