Article to LinkedIn post generator with Telegram, GPT-4 & Google Sheets

🚀 Automated LinkedIn Post Generator from Article Links (Telegram → AI → Google Sheets → LinkedIn)

This workflow lets you collect article links through a Telegram bot, automatically analyze and summarize them with AI, store everything neatly in Google Sheets, and generate polished LinkedIn posts on demand whenever the user types “generate”.

Perfect for creators, marketers, and founders who want to post consistently without spending hours analyzing articles or writing drafts.

🧠 How It Works

1️⃣ User Sends Articles via Telegram

Your Telegram bot is the main input point. Whenever the user drops a link, the workflow:

• Detects the URL
• Fetches the content
• Sends it to AI for analysis

This keeps the process simple.

---

2️⃣ AI Analyzes & Summarizes the Article

The workflow uses your LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) to:

• Summarize the article
• Extract key insights
• Identify main arguments
• Capture tone and context

It produces a clean, structured dataset for each link.

---

3️⃣ Everything is Saved into Google Sheets

Each article becomes a new row in your Google Sheet. The sheet serves as your content library with fields like:

• Date
• Title
• Link
• Summary
• Insights Commentary

You can save dozens of articles and generate posts from any of them later.

---

4️⃣ User Requests a Post with “generate”

When the user types “generate”, the workflow will:

• Pull the latest article(s) from Google Sheets (or any selection logic you choose)
• Build a LinkedIn-ready post using AI
• Apply the requested tone/style
• Format it as a clean, professional post

The final post is sent right back to Telegram — ready to copy/paste into LinkedIn.
