🧾 What this workflow does
This automation turns a Telegram voice or text message into a high-quality LinkedIn post using OpenAI’s Whisper, Dumpling AI and GPT-4, and then repurposes that same message into a content idea with visual inspiration using Dumpling AI. All outputs are saved to Airtable for review, approval, and scheduling.
👤 Who is this for
- Founders or creators sharing ideas while walking or multitasking
- Content teams turning voice memos into carousel content
- Personal brands posting on LinkedIn with minimal manual work
- Virtual assistants or SMMs handling voice-driven content tasks
⚙️ How to set up
✅ Requirements
You’ll need active accounts for:
- Telegram Bot (via n8n’s Telegram Trigger node)
- OpenAI (for Whisper and GPT-4)

- Airtable (to log your posts)
In Airtable, create a table with the following fields:

🔧 Setup steps
-
Set up your Telegram bot
- Use BotFather to create a bot and get your token
- Add the bot to a private group or channel
-
Connect all credentials in n8n
- Telegram Trigger (Bot Token)
- OpenAI (for Whisper + GPT-4)
- Dumpling AI (HTTP Auth)
- Airtable (OAuth or Personal Token)
-
Update node parameters
- In the Telegram Trigger node, specify your bot and listening chat
- In the HTTP node for Dumpling AI, add your API key via header
- In Airtable nodes, map to your base and table correctly
-
Optional prompt customization
- In the GPT-4 node, you can update the prompt for tone, formatting, or CTA style
-
Optional: Adjust the Dumpling AI prompt to suit your niche (e.g., health, tech, finance).
🧠 How it works
- The Telegram bot receives a voice message.
- Whisper transcribes the voice into clean text.
- GPT-4 formats the text into a polished LinkedIn post.
- Dumpling AI:
- Generates a short-form content idea from the transcript.
- Creates a branded image prompt and renders a matching image.
- The full set of outputs (text, idea, image) is saved to Airtable.
- You can now review and schedule the post manually or via another automation.
🛠️ Customization ideas
- Swap Telegram for WhatsApp or voice memos via Google Drive
- Add moderation or approval steps before saving to Airtable
- Send the LinkedIn post directly to Buffer or Hootsuite for auto-posting
- Generate post captions or hashtags using GPT-4 before publishing
- Extend the workflow to auto-create carousel slides from the content idea
This workflow makes it easy to share your voice with your audience — literally. Whether you're walking, thinking out loud, or sending team updates, this automation turns your spoken ideas into professional content, ready to post or polish.
