Workflow Overview

This workflow automates the process of forwarding e-book files to a Kindle device using a Telegram bot and Outlook email.

Setup Steps:

  1. Telegram Bot Setup:
    Create a Telegram bot via BotFather and configure its credentials in the workflow.

  2. Outlook Email Configuration:
    Set up your Outlook email credentials. (Currently, only Outlook is supported, but you can modify the workflow to support other email providers.)

  3. Amazon Kindle Email Setup:
    Find your Kindle device's email address from your Amazon account. This will be the recipient address for the e-books.

  4. Allow Email Sending to Kindle:
    Ensure your Amazon account is configured to allow emails from your Outlook address to send files to your Kindle.

Workflow Explanation:

  • The workflow begins with a Telegram bot trigger node that listens for new chat messages.

  • When a new message is received, the workflow checks if the message contains a file attachment.

    • If no file is detected, the bot will send a warning reply to the user in the chat.
  • If a file is found, it will be renamed to ensure it appears correctly on the Kindle device when sent.

  • The workflow then composes an email with the file attached and sends it to the Kindle's receiving address.

    • If the email is sent successfully, the bot will notify the user with a success message in the chat.
  • Only Amazon-supported file types will be accepted by Kindle.

    • If sending fails, you will receive a notification email from Amazon in your Outlook inbox.
    • In case of delivery issues, retry sending the file as network issues may occasionally interfere with the process.
