# Let Duaer read a Telegram photo

In Duaer, Telegram Trigger has to download images and files before a digital employee can read the photo, not only the text update.
## Turn on download

1. Open Telegram Trigger in the digital organization.
2. Under Additional Fields, turn on Download Images/Files.
3. When you need a size, set Image Size to Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large. If you leave it unset, the download uses the large image.
4. Save, then send a photo as a test run. The output should include binary data, not only a file id.

With download off, the trigger does not hand the image file to later nodes or to a digital employee. When several photos arrive as one group, each photo triggers separately. media_group_id marks them as the same group.
## Questions

### Why does Telegram Trigger in Duaer show text and no photo?

Download Images/Files under Additional Fields is off. Turn it on and the photo arrives as binary data on the output.
