Automated quiz delivery from Google Sheets to Telegram with status tracking

Overview

This workflow automates quiz delivery from a Google Sheet directly into a Telegram group. It ensures that quizzes are posted one by one as polls, and once a quiz is sent, its status in the sheet is automatically updated to prevent duplication. If no pending quiz is available, the workflow notifies a separate Telegram channel to refill the sheet.

Target Audience

This template is designed for teachers, community managers, and Telegram group admins who want an easy way to run quizzes, trivia games, or knowledge checks without manual posting.

Problem It Solves

Manually sending quizzes is repetitive and prone to mistakes (like re-posting the same question). This template ensures quizzes are sent in order, tracked, and managed automatically with minimal human effort.

Requirements

• An active Google account with Google Sheets enabled
• A Telegram bot token (via BotFather)
• Chat IDs for both the quiz group and the notification group
