Title

Workflow name
Capture and draft content ideas from Telegram with Claude and Notion

How it works

  • Send any idea as a text message to a Telegram bot
  • Claude automatically decides the best content format (carousel, reel, or blog post)
  • Claude writes 3 hooks for that format — problem, curiosity, and contrarian angles
  • Each hook gets a full content draft
  • Everything lands in a Notion database — tagged, formatted, and ready to use
  • A Telegram confirmation is sent back with your hooks instantly

Set up steps

  • Create a Telegram bot via BotFather and connect it to n8n
  • Add your Anthropic API key to the Claude node
  • Duplicate the Notion database template (link in sticky note inside workflow)
  • Connect your Notion account to n8n
  • Activate the workflow and send your first idea

  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.
