How to connect OpenCTI and Telegram

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • 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.

Step 2: Add and configure Telegram and OpenCTI (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find Telegram and OpenCTI nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. Telegram node comes with pre-built credentials and supported actions. OpenCTI can be set up with the HTTP Request node using a pre-configured credential type. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to OpenCTI. Configure Telegram and OpenCTI nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Telegram and OpenCTI

A connection establishes a link between Telegram and OpenCTI (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Connect Telegram and OpenCTI with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
