AI-powered Telegram message analysis with multi-tool notifications (Gmail, Telegram)

This workflow triggers on Telegram updates, analyzes messages with an AI Agent using MCP tools, and sends notifications via Gmail and Telegram.

Detailed Description

Who is this for?

This template is for teams, businesses, or individuals using Telegram for communication who need automated, AI-driven insights and notifications. It’s ideal for customer support teams, project managers, or tech enthusiasts wanting to process Telegram messages intelligently and receive alerts via Gmail and Telegram.

What problem is this workflow solving? Use case

This workflow solves the challenge of manually monitoring Telegram messages by automating message analysis and notifications. For example, a support team can use it to analyze customer queries on Telegram with AI tools (OpenAI, Airbnb, Brave, FireCrawl) and get notified via Gmail and Telegram for quick responses.

What this workflow does

The workflow:

1. Triggers on a Telegram update (e.g., a new message) using the Listen for Telegram Updates node.
2. Processes the message with the Analyze Message with AI node, an AI Agent using MCP tools like OpenAI Chat, Airbnb search, Brave search, and FireCrawl.
3. Sends notifications via the Send Gmail Notification and Send Telegram Alert nodes, including AI-generated insights.

Setup

Prerequisites:

• Telegram bot token for the trigger and notification nodes.
• Gmail API credentials for sending emails.
• API keys for OpenAI, Airbnb, Brave, and FireCrawl (used in the AI Agent).

Steps:

1. Configure the Listen for Telegram Updates node with your Telegram bot token.
2. Set up the Analyze Message with AI node with your OpenAI API key and other tool credentials.
3. Configure the Send Gmail Notification node with your Gmail credentials.
4. Set up the Send Telegram Alert node with your Telegram bot token.
5. Test by sending a Telegram message to trigger the workflow.

Setup takes ~15-30 minutes. Detailed instructions are in sticky notes within the workflow.

How to customize this workflow to your needs

• Add more AI tools (e.g., sentiment analysis) in the Analyze Message with AI node.
• Modify the notification message in the Send Gmail Notification and Send Telegram Alert nodes to include specific AI outputs.
• Add nodes for other channels like Slack or SMS after the AI Agent.

Disclaimer

This workflow uses Community nodes (e.g., Airbnb, Brave, FireCrawl), which are available only in self-hosted n8n instances. Ensure your n8n setup supports Community nodes before using this template.
