Gallery Telegram Upload Session Flow

Summary

When direct upload is not enough, Telegram session flow supports controlled ingestion with explicit bot selection and session tracking. For operators, this page should be used as a decision surface, not only as a UI form. Always pair page actions with downstream validation in the relevant live workflow.

What this page is for

• Handle constrained uploads safely.
• Avoid oversized-batch failures.
• Track session completion status.

Before you start

• Select upload bot context.
• Prepare files in batches of 10 max for Telegram session path.
• Keep category target ready.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Start upload from /dashboard/gallery.
2. Select bot for Telegram upload session.
3. Create upload session.
4. Follow deep link/session instructions to complete transfer.
5. Return to gallery and refresh session status.
6. Confirm received assets in media grid.

Key states and error handling

• Batch limit error: 'Telegram uploads are limited to 10 files per batch. Please split your upload.'
• Session creation failure fallback: 'Failed to create Telegram upload session'.
• Session statuses include active/completed/cancelled states.

Best practices

• Run smaller batches for reliability.
• Track expected vs received count during session.
• Close incomplete sessions before starting new wave.

Troubleshooting

• If session creation fails, verify bot selection first.
• If received count stalls, re-open session status and retry transfer.
• If assets do not appear, refresh gallery queries and filters.
• If issue persists after one clean retry, capture exact toast/banner text, selected bot, and timestamp before escalation.

UI reference (what each control does)

• Search and type filters control retrieval speed in large media libraries.
• Category selection changes query scope and can hide valid assets if misconfigured.
• Direct upload size limits differ by media type and must be respected.
• Audio pipeline only supports .ogg/.mp3 with strict size constraints.
• Telegram upload sessions are used for controlled constrained ingest paths.
• Batch limits exist for Telegram session uploads and require chunking.
• Bulk actions are powerful and must be validated before applying.
• Upload toasts classify most operational upload failures quickly.

Operator checklist (before shipping changes)

• Verify file formats and size before upload.
• Select correct bot for Telegram upload sessions.
• Upload in small controlled batches to reduce retries.
• Apply categories immediately after successful upload.
• Run periodic uncategorized cleanup to keep retrieval fast.
• Revalidate script media mappings after bulk maintenance.

Real-world scenario

A campaign upload fails minutes before launch. The operator splits files into compliant batches, converts invalid audio formats, runs a Telegram upload session for constrained files, and confirms all assets are visible before script activation.

1. Identify the exact scope (bot, period, module) before any change.
2. Apply one targeted correction based on observed UI state and messages.
3. Validate outcome in the live operational flow linked to this page.
4. Document the final state so future incidents can be solved faster.
