Facebook Graph API and Telegram integration

Overview

This n8n workflow is designed to extract specific interests from messages in a Telegram chat and retrieve related information using the Facebook Graph API. It aims to provide a streamlined solution for parsing and analyzing user-provided interests within the Telegram platform.

Features

• Interest Extraction: Automatically identifies and extracts interests from messages that start with the hashtag "#interest".
• Data Retrieval: Utilizes the Facebook Graph API to retrieve information related to the extracted interests.
• Structured Outputs: Presents the retrieved data in an organized format for further analysis and review.

Requirements

• Operational instance of n8n (self-hosted or cloud version).
• Basic understanding of n8n workflows and nodes.

Setup and Configuration

1. Import Workflow: Load the provided JSON workflow into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Telegram Trigger Node: Ensure the Telegram trigger node is set up with the appropriate credentials and webhook ID.
3. Configure and Test Nodes: Adjust node parameters as necessary and test the workflow to ensure proper functionality.

How it Works

1. Telegram Trigger: Listens for incoming messages in a specified Telegram chat.
2. Check Message Contents: Verifies if the message begins with the specified hashtag and is from the designated chat ID.
3. Extract Message: Extracts the content of the message for further processing.
4. Split Message: Splits the extracted message to identify the interest and remaining content.
5. Connect to Graph API: Utilizes the Facebook Graph API to search for information related to the extracted interest.
6. Split Interests into a Table: Organizes the retrieved data into a structured table format.
7. Get Variables: Maps the retrieved data to create a new JSON object containing specific fields related to the interest.
8. Create a Spreadsheet: Generates a spreadsheet file in CSV format based on the retrieved and formatted data.
9. Send the Spreadsheet File: Sends the generated spreadsheet file back to the original Telegram chat.

Customization

• Modify the filtering conditions and fields to suit specific requirements.
• Adjust the frequency of the trigger node based on preference.

Best Practices

• Regularly test the workflow to ensure consistent performance.
• Stay informed about any changes to external APIs that might affect the workflow's functionality.
