Airtable and Telegram integration

How to connect Airtable and Telegram

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect

  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
