Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Slack and Telegram and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, HITL, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Slack and Telegram

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.

Slack and Telegram integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Multiple websites monitoring with notifications including phone calls

✅ What problem does this workflow solve? Automatically monitor multiple websites every 5 minutes, log downtime, notify your team instantly via multiple channels, and track uptime/downtime in a Google Sheet—without relying on expensive monitoring tools. ⚙️ What does this workflow do? Triggers every 5 minutes to monitor website health. Fetches a list of website URLs from a Google Sheet. Checks the status of each website one by one. Sends instant alerts if a website is down (Email, Slack, Telegram, Voice Call). Logs downtime events in Google Sheets. Tracks when websites are back up and updates the log. Sends recovery notifications when a site is live again (Email, Slack, Telegram). 🔧 Setup 📄 Google Sheets Setup Sheet 1: List of website URLs to monitor. Sheet 2: Log to store uptime/downtime records. Sample Format: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_VVpkIvpYQigw5q0KmPXUAC2aV2rk1nRQLQZ7YK2KwY/edit?usp=sharing ✉️ Gmail, Slack & Telegram Setup Connect Gmail, Slack, and Telegram to n8n. Configure each service with proper credentials or OAuth. 📞 Vapi (Voice Call) Setup Create a Vapi account. Generate an API key. Configure API Parameters (vapi_api_key, assistant_id, number, phone_number_id) on VAPI Node. Insert the First Message specified in the Workflow. 🧠 How it Works ⏱ 1. Scheduled Monitoring A Schedule Trigger runs the workflow every 5 minutes. It reads the list of URLs from the Google Sheet and loops through each one. 🌍 2.
