How to connect Telegram and OpenAI

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 OpenAI nodes

You can find Telegram and OpenAI in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Telegram and OpenAI nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Telegram and OpenAI

A connection establishes a link between Telegram and OpenAI (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.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Telegram and OpenAI integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Telegram and OpenAI with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Telegram and OpenAI workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Telegram to OpenAI or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Telegram AI Chatbot

The workflow starts by listening for messages from Telegram users. The message is then processed, and based on its content, different actions are taken. If it's a regular chat message, the workflow generates a response using the OpenAI API and sends it back to the user. If it's a command to create an image, the workflow generates an image using the OpenAI API and sends the image to the user. If the command is unsupported, an error message is sent. Throughout the workflow, there are additional nodes for displaying notes and simulating typing actions.
