Workflow name
Create Notion tasks from Telegram messages with GPT-3.5

Using the power and ease of Telegram, send a simple text or audio message to a bot with a request to add a new Task to your Notion Tasks database.

How it works

ChatGPT is used to transacribe the audio or text message, parse it, and determine the title to add as a new Notion Task. You can optionally include a "do date" as well and ChatGPT will include that when creating the task. Once complete you will receive a simple confirmation message back.

Minimal Setup Required

Just follow n8n's instructions on how to connect to Telegram and create your own chatBot, provide the chatID in the 2 Telegram nodes, and you're finished! A few optional settings include tweaking the ChatGPT system prompt (unnecessary) and the timezone for your Notion Task(s).
