Telegram AI Chatbot

n8n template #1934

Summary

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.

How to set it up

Open template #1934 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
Create 2 credentials under Credentials → Add credential: Telegram, OpenAI. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
Check the model in the OpenAI node. The template may point at a model your account can't use; swap it for one you have access to.
Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
