1.1 Workflow description

Title

Workflow name
Automate Facebook group posting with Telegram messages and Google Sheets

What this template does

Automates posting to Facebook Groups via Airtop browser automation. Reads group links from Google Sheets, opens each group in a logged-in Airtop profile, types your prepared message, and submits with human-like delays. The message text is sent from your Telegram bot, so you can provide content directly in Telegram and it will be published to the selected groups.

How it works

  • Telegram Trigger starts the run.
  • Google Sheets — Get Group List reads rows with the link column (Facebook Group URL).
  • Airtop — Start Browser → Create a window opens Facebook in a persistent profile.
  • For each row:
    • Load a page visits the group link.
    • Scroll / Click / Type text fills the composer.
    • Wait nodes add delays for realistic behavior.
  • Loop Over Items controls batching and session termination.

Requirements

  • n8n v1.105+
  • Airtop profile logged into Facebook
  • Google Sheet with a link column
  • Telegram bot credentials stored in n8n (no secrets in nodes)

Setup steps

  1. Import the JSON template.
  2. Open Google Sheets node → pick your spreadsheet and sheet with link.
  3. Configure Telegram Trigger with your bot credentials.
  4. In Airtop — Start Browser, set profileName to your prepared FB profile.
  5. The Type text node automatically uses the message you send to your Telegram bot (no need to hardcode it).
  6. Tune Wait nodes (1–5s between actions; longer if needed).
  7. Test on one group before scaling.

Safety & compliance

  • No hardcoded API keys in HTTP nodes.
  • Follow Facebook Terms: avoid spam, rotate content, throttle frequency.
  • Post only where you have permission.
  • Keep credentials in n8n’s Credentials storage.

Troubleshooting

  • Composer not found → adjust the element description/selector in Airtop nodes.
  • Slow loads → increase Wait durations.
  • No rows → verify sheet selection and the link column name.
  • Access issues → ensure your Airtop profile is logged in and allowed to post.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/8165/8165.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
