The Power of n8n Automation AI Telegram: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
We’ll walk through several exciting projects, starting with how to set up your n8n environment and then diving into practical examples.
Setting Up Your n8n Environment
-
Access n8n: Open your web browser and navigate to the n8n website: https://n8n.io.
-
Register/Login:
- If you’re new, click “Get Started” and follow the prompts to register. You’ll enter your full name, company (optional), email address, and create a strong password.
- If you already have an account, simply click “Login.”
-
Initial Setup Questions: n8n will guide you through a few quick setup questions about your usage. These are just preferences and won’t impact the functionality of the projects we’ll build. Click through them to proceed.
-
Start Automating: Once the setup is complete, click “Start Automating” to enter the n8n editor, your canvas for creating powerful workflows.
-
Create a New Workflow: In the editor, you’ll see an option to “Start from Scratch.” Click this to begin building your first automation.
Now, let’s get hands-on with some groundbreaking projects!
Project 1: Instantly Generate Videos from Telegram Images with n8n and AI (VO3 Integration)
Imagine taking a simple image and transforming it into a dynamic video advertisement or a stunning visual narrative, all with a single Telegram message. This project shows you how to achieve just that.
Problem: Manually creating product videos or short clips can be time-consuming, requiring video editing skills and specialized software.
Solution: Automate video generation by integrating Telegram with advanced AI models via n8n.
Steps:
-
Set up the Telegram Trigger:
- In your n8n workflow, click “Add first step.”
- Search for “Telegram” and select the “Telegram Trigger” node.
- Choose “On Message” as the trigger event. This means your workflow will activate whenever a new message (including an image) is sent to your bot.
-
Create Your Telegram Bot: This is crucial. Open your Telegram app (or web version) and search for
@BotFather. Start a chat, then type/newbot. Follow BotFather’s instructions to name your bot and create a unique username. Once done, BotFather will provide you with a unique API access token. Copy this token carefully – it’s your bot’s identity! -
Configure Telegram Credential in n8n: Back in the Telegram node in n8n, click “Credential” and select “Create new credential.” Give your credential a descriptive name (e.g., “MyVideoBot”). Paste the API access token you got from BotFather into the “Access Token” field and click “Save.”
-
Getting the Image Path from Telegram:
- Add a new node by clicking the “+” button after your Telegram trigger. Search for “HTTP Request” and select it.
-
Configure Method & URL: Set the “Method” to “GET.” For the “URL,” you’ll use a dynamic URL that tells Telegram to give you the actual file path of the image you sent. The structure is:
https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_BOT_ID/getFile?file_id={{$json["message"]["photo"][0]["file_id"]}}
Important: ReplaceYOUR_BOT_IDwith your actual bot’s ID (which is the first part of your API access token before the colon). Thefile_idexpression{{$json["message"]["photo"][0]["file_id"]}}dynamically pulls the unique ID of the sent image from the incoming Telegram data. -
Test the Step: Send an image to your Telegram bot (the one you just created). Then, click “Execute Node” on your HTTP Request node in n8n. You should see an output containing the
file_pathfor your image. This is the link we need for the AI.
-
Creating Video Using VO3 (via Kie.ai):
- Add another “HTTP Request” node. Rename this node to “Create VO3” for clarity.
-
Configure Method & URL: Set the “Method” to “POST.” The URL for the video generation API is usually provided by the service; for this example, we’ll use
Kie.ai(a platform providing various AI models, including VO3). -
Authentication:
- You’ll need an API key from
Kie.ai. Visit https://kie.ai and sign up/log in to get your API key. - In the HTTP Request node, go to “Authentication,” select “Generic Credential Type,” and then “Header Auth.” Create a new credential, setting the “Name” to
Authorizationand the “Value” toBearer YOUR_KIE_AI_API_KEY(replace with your actual key).
- You’ll need an API key from
-
Send Body (JSON Payload): Enable “Send Body” and select “Using JSON.” Here, you define what kind of video you want. A sample JSON structure would be:
{ "prompt": "A stunning, cinematic product advertisement with dynamic lighting and smooth camera movements. Highlight the product with a clean background.", "model": "veo-fast", "aspect_ratio": "16:9", "image_url": "https://api.telegram.org/file/botYOUR_BOT_ID/{{$json.result.file_path}}" }- Adjust the
promptto describe your desired video style. model: “veo-fast” is a more cost-effective option than “veo-3”, but experiment!aspect_ratio: “16:9” is common for horizontal videos.image_url: This is crucial! It combines the base Telegram file API URL with thefile_pathobtained from the previous HTTP Request node. Remember to replaceYOUR_BOT_ID.
- Adjust the
-
Getting the Generated Video from VO3:
- Duplicate your “Create VO3” node (right-click and select “Duplicate”). Rename the new node “Get VO3.”
-
Configure Method & URL: Change the “Method” to “GET.” The URL for retrieving the video information is typically different:
https://api.kie.ai/v1/veo/recordinfo. -
Query Parameters: Enable “Send Query Parameters” and select “Using Fields Below.” Set the
Nametotask_idand theValueto{{$json.task_id}}(this dynamically pulls the task ID from the previous “Create VO3” node’s output, which VO3 uses to track your video generation request). - Authentication: Keep the same Kie.ai credentials.
- Execute Step: Run this node. The output should contain a
result.video_urlonce the video generation is complete (this might take a few minutes).
-
Sending the Video to Telegram:
- Add a new “Telegram” node. Choose the “Send Video” operation.
- Credential: Select your pre-configured Telegram credential.
- Chat ID: Drag and drop the “Chat ID” from the initial “Telegram Trigger” node to ensure the video is sent back to the same chat.
- Video URL: Drag and drop the
result.video_urlfrom the “Get VO3” node’s output to the “Video” field. - Execute Workflow: Now, execute your entire workflow. Send an image to your Telegram bot, and after a short wait, you’ll receive your AI-generated video directly in Telegram!
This powerful n8n automation AI Telegram workflow dramatically reduces the time and effort needed for video content creation.
Project 2: Streamline Invoice Data Entry with n8n, AI, and Telegram to AirTable
Manual data entry from invoices is tedious and prone to errors. This project shows how to automate this process using an AI agent for optical character recognition (OCR) and data extraction.
Problem: Manually transcribing invoice details (items, quantities, prices) into a spreadsheet or database.
Solution: Send an invoice image to Telegram, use an AI agent to extract data, and automatically populate an AirTable database.
Steps:
- Set up Telegram Trigger: (Same as Project 1) Use the “Telegram Trigger” node set to “On Message” with your configured bot.
- Get File from Telegram: (Similar to Project 1) Add a “Telegram” node and select the “Get a File” operation. Drag the
file_idfrom the Telegram Trigger’s output to this node. This will download the image. - Setup Image Convert (Optional but Recommended): Add an “Image” node. This helps ensure the image is in a format the AI can easily process, like JPEG. Connect the output of the “Get a File” node to this.
-
Connect to AI Agent (for OCR & Extraction):
- Add an “AI Agent” node. This is where the magic of AI happens.
-
Choose your AI Model: Connect to a powerful language model capable of vision, such as GPT-4o (or GPT-5 if available via OpenRouter), Gemini Pro Vision, or Claude 3 models. You’ll need to set up credentials for your chosen model. For flexibility and cost-effectiveness, platforms like OpenRouter.ai allow you to access multiple models with a single API key.
-
Define the Prompt: This is critical for accurate extraction. Your prompt needs to clearly instruct the AI what to look for and in what format. Example prompt:
"For the attached image, which is an invoice, please extract the following details: item name, quantity, unit price, and total line item price. If multiple items are present, list each item separately. You MUST output this data in a JSON array format, like this: [{\"item\": \"item1\", \"quantity\": \"1\", \"price\": \"$3\", \"total\": \"$3\"}, {\"item\": \"item2\", \"quantity\": \"2\", \"price\": \"$5\", \"total\": \"$10\"}]. Ensure there are no additional explanatory texts outside the JSON." - Enable Binary Passthrough: Crucially, ensure the “Automatically pass binary data to binary properties” option is enabled in the AI Agent node. This ensures the image data from the previous step is properly sent to the AI.
- Require Specific Output Format: Enable this option and provide your desired JSON structure example. This forces the AI to adhere to your specified format, which is essential for consistent data processing.
- Troubleshooting Tip: AI agent extraction can sometimes be tricky due to image quality, complex layouts, or ambiguous wording on invoices. Be prepared for trial and error with your prompt and output format examples to achieve optimal accuracy.
-
Connect to AirTable:
- Add an “AirTable” node. You’ll need an AirTable account and a base/table set up with columns like “Item,” “Quantity,” “Price,” and “Total.”
- Authentication: Authenticate your AirTable account with n8n.
- Operation: Select “Create a Record.”
- Map Data: Map the extracted data from the AI Agent’s JSON output to the corresponding columns in your AirTable table. For example, drag
{{$json.item}}to your “Item” field in AirTable,{{$json.quantity}}to “Quantity,” and so on. If the AI outputs an array of items, you might need an “Item List” or “Split In Batches” node before AirTable to process each item individually.
This n8n automation AI Telegram workflow for invoice processing is a game-changer for financial management and record-keeping, boosting accuracy and saving countless hours.
Project 3: Stay Informed: Automated News Summaries via n8n Automation AI Telegram
Cut through the noise and get personalized, summarized news updates delivered directly to your Telegram chat. This project leverages AI to condense information from popular news sources.
Problem: Information overload and time-consuming manual browsing of news websites.
Solution: Receive concise news summaries from Hacker News (or other sources) directly to Telegram using n8n and AI.
Steps:
- Set up Telegram Trigger: (Same as previous projects) Use the “Telegram Trigger” node set to “On Message.”
-
Get Data from Hacker News:
- Add a “Hacker News” node. This node is a built-in integration that makes it easy to fetch headlines from news.ycombinator.com.
- Configure the node to get the “Top” stories and set a “Limit” (e.g., 3 headlines) to avoid overwhelming updates.
-
Visit Each URL (Web Scraper):
- Add a “Scraping” node (or similar, like “ScrapingBee” or “Scrap Graph AI” as mentioned in context). This node will visit each news article’s URL and extract its main content.
- Connect the “Hacker News” node’s output (specifically the URLs of the articles) as the input for this scraping node.
- You’ll likely need to set up credentials for the scraping service.
-
Summarize with AI Agent:
- Add an “LLM” (Large Language Model) node, which is another type of AI Agent. Connect the output from the scraping node to this LLM node.
-
Define the Prompt: Instruct the AI to summarize the content. For a fun, localized twist, the context suggested a “Jaksel” (South Jakarta) language style. Example prompt:
"Please summarize the following article content into a super short, tweet-length message. Make it bombastic and use a 'Jaksel' (South Jakarta) conversational style. The original article content is: {{YOUR_ARTICLE_CONTENT_HERE}}" -
The
{{YOUR_ARTICLE_CONTENT_HERE}}dynamically pulls the scraped article content. - Choose AI Model: Select your preferred AI model (e.g., GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude).
-
Aggregate Results:
- Since you’re processing multiple articles (e.g., 3 headlines), the LLM node will output 3 separate summaries. To send them as a single message to Telegram, add an “Aggregate” node.
- This node combines multiple incoming items into a single output item. Configure it to concatenate the summaries, perhaps with line breaks in between.
-
Send to Telegram:
- Add a final “Telegram” node and select “Send Text Message.”
- Credential: Select your Telegram bot credential.
- Chat ID: Drag the “Chat ID” from the initial Telegram Trigger.
- Text: Drag the aggregated summary output from the “Aggregate” node to the “Text” field.
This automated news summary using n8n automation AI Telegram ensures you stay updated efficiently and in a personalized style.

Problem: Manually adding events to your digital calendar, especially on the go.
Solution: Use Telegram to tell an AI what event to create, and n8n will add it to your Google Calendar.
Steps:
- Set up Telegram Trigger: (Same as previous projects) Use the “Telegram Trigger” node set to “On Message.”
-
Connect to AI Agent:
- Add an “AI Agent” node. This AI will act as your smart assistant.
- Choose AI Model & Credential: Connect to a suitable LLM (e.g., Gemini, GPT-4o) and set up its credentials.
-
Define the Prompt: This prompt instructs the AI to understand natural language event requests and extract key details:
"You are a smart calendar assistant. Your task is to extract event details (title, date, time, duration) from the user's message. Convert any relative dates/times (e.g., 'tomorrow at 3 PM', 'next Monday') into a precise date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS). If duration is not specified, assume 1 hour. Output the details in a JSON format like: {\"title\": \"Meeting with John\", \"start\": \"2024-05-15T15:00:00\", \"end\": \"2024-05-15T16:00:00\"}." - Require Specific Output Format: Provide the JSON example to guide the AI’s output.
-
Create Google Calendar Event:
- Add a “Google Calendar” node.
- Authentication: Authenticate with your Google account in n8n.
- Operation: Select “Create Event.”
- Map Event Details: Map the parsed output from the AI Agent to the Google Calendar event fields (e.g.,
{{$json.title}}to “Summary”,{{$json.start}}to “Start Date/Time”,{{$json.end}}to “End Date/Time”).
-
Reply to Telegram with Event Details:
- Add a final “Telegram” node and select “Send Text Message.”
- Credential & Chat ID: Use your existing Telegram bot credential and the chat ID from the trigger.
