Hello everybody,
I am encountering an issue in my flow while trying to convert Telegram audio messages to text using Whisper via Groq. Below are the details of the flow I’ve set up:
- I retrieve the
file_pathof the audio message using Telegram’s API. - I download the audio file using an HTTP GET request with the URL:
https://api.telegram.org/file/bot<TOKEN>/<file_path>. - I attempt to send the downloaded file to the Whisper model via Groq to convert the audio into text.
The issue occurs when I pass the downloaded file to the Whisper model. It returns an error stating that the file is either not in Base64 format or is invalid. I also tried converting the file to Base64 using a code step, but the flow fails with a generic “Run failed” message without clear details.
Additional Details:
- I am using the self-hosted version of Activepieces.
- I confirmed that the downloaded file can be played manually and is in a valid format (
.oggor.mp3). - I tried converting the file to Base64 within Activepieces, but the conversion doesn’t seem to work correctly.
- I also attempted to send the file without encoding it to Base64, but it wasn’t processed correctly by Whisper via Groq.
What I need:
- Guidance on how to convert a downloaded file (binary) to Base64 within Activepieces, if possible.
- Validation on whether Activepieces can handle binary files in this way or if I need an alternative approach.
- Assistance in understanding the “Run failed” error message and how to resolve it.
Thank you very much for your support, and I am happy to provide any additional information needed to resolve this issue.
Best regards,
