1.1 Workflow description

Title: Create smart Telegram reminders with GPT-4 mini and Airtable cancel codes
Workflow name: Create smart Telegram reminders with GPT-4 mini and Airtable cancel codes

How It Works

User sends a reminder request via Telegram (e.g., “Remind me to clean the garage tomorrow at 12 pm”).

The request is parsed by AI Agent and stored in Airtable with a unique reminder code.

The reminder workflow checks Airtable at scheduled intervals and sends a Telegram notification when the reminder is due.

Each reminder includes a unique cancel code (e.g., Reply 4936 to stop this reminder).

If the user replies with the code, the bot searches Airtable, deletes the reminder, and confirms the deletion in Telegram.

If the code doesn’t exist, the bot replies “Code not found.”

⚡ Setup Steps

Create a Telegram Bot

Use BotFather on Telegram.

Run /newbot and copy your bot token.

Add the token in your Telegram Trigger and Telegram Send nodes in n8n.

Set Up Airtable

Create an Airtable base called REMINDER-TABLE.

Add a table with fields:

title (Text) – reminder text

due_at (Date/Time) – when the reminder is due

chat_id (Text) – user’s Telegram chat ID

code (Number/Text) – unique cancel code

Generate an API key / Personal Access Token and connect it in n8n.

Import This Workflow

In n8n, click Import Workflow.

Paste the JSON template.

Connect your Telegram and Airtable credentials.

Activate the Workflow

Start the workflow in n8n Cloud or Self-Hosted.

Send a test reminder in Telegram (e.g., “Remind me in 5 minutes to call mom”).

When notified, reply with the cancel code to test deletion.

Optional Customizations

Modify reminder frequency (Every 5 minutes node).

Change reminder message formatting in the Format Message node.

Add logging/analytics by connecting Google Sheets or another DB.

⚡ Result: You now have a fully automated AI-powered Telegram Reminder Bot with Airtable storage, cancel codes, and real-time notifications!

Re-engage missed property viewings with Google Calendar, Gemini, Gmail, and WhatsApp

## Quick overview When a buyer misses a scheduled viewing, this workflow automatically sends an AI-personalized follow-up by email and WhatsApp using Google Gemini, then logs the outcome to Google Sheets, recovering leads that would otherwise go cold. ## How it works 1. Triggers every 15 minutes when a Google Calendar event is updated in the selected viewings calendar. 2. Checks the event title/summary and continues only if it contains the tag “no-show”. 3. Extracts the lead’s name, email, phone, property address, and scheduled viewing time from the calendar event details. 4. Sends the lead and viewing context to Google Gemini to generate an email message and a WhatsApp message in JSON format. 5. Parses and cleans the AI output into safe HTML for email and a trimmed plain-text WhatsApp message. 6. Sends the re-engagement email via Gmail and appends the follow-up outcome to a Google Sheets log. 7. If a phone number is available, sends the WhatsApp message and updates a Google Sheets status field to record that WhatsApp was sent. ## Setup 1. Connect credentials for Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Sheets, and a Google Gemini (PaLM) API key. 2. Select the correct Google Calendar (viewings calendar) and ensure missed appointments are consistently tagged with “no-show” in the event summary. 3. Create or choose a Google Sheets document and sheet, then fill in the document ID/URL, sheet name, and the columns expected by the append/update logging steps. 4. Configure WhatsApp credentials in n8n (or disable the WhatsApp branch) and ensure lead phone numbers are stored in the calendar event description in the expected format (e.g., Name: ... | Email: ... | Phone: ... |). ## Requirements - Before running this workflow, create a Google Sheet with these exact column headers: Record ID | Lead Name | Email | Phone | Property Address | Original Viewing Time | Email Sent | WhatsApp Sent | Email Message Text | WhatsApp Message Text | Timestamp ## Customization - Edit the AI prompt in "Draft Re-Engagement Messages" to change tone or language - Add SMS or other channels by duplicating the WhatsApp branch pattern - Adjust the "no-show" tag keyword if your calendar uses different terminology ## Additional info WhatsApp is optional. If you don't have WhatsApp Business Cloud API credentials, disable that branch — the email follow-up will still send normally. This template assumes calendar events are tagged with "no-show" in the title and include lead contact info in the event description (Name: ... | Email: ... | Phone: ... |).

Manage Google Calendar events with Zalo Bot, OpenAI and Gemini

## Quick Overview This workflow lets users manage Google Calendar by sending text or voice messages to a Zalo Official Account bot, transcribing voice notes with Google Gemini and using an OpenAI-powered agent to create, update, list, or delete events, then replying in Zalo with the result. ## How it works 1. Receives an incoming text or voice message through a Zalo Bot trigger. 2. Sends a typing indicator back to the Zalo chat and normalizes key message fields (chat ID, type, text, and voice URL). 3. If the message is a voice note, sends the audio URL to Google Gemini to transcribe it into text. 4. Sends the combined text/transcription to an OpenAI chat model agent that interprets the request in Vietnamese and decides whether to list, create, update, or delete a Google Calendar event. 5. Uses Google Calendar tools to get events and then create, update, or delete the targeted event based on the agent’s extracted parameters. 6. Sends the agent’s Markdown-formatted response back to the user in Zalo, and posts an error message to Zalo if the agent run fails. ## Setup 1. Install the community node package `n8n-nodes-zalo-bot-official` and restart n8n if required. 2. Connect your Zalo Bot API credentials and configure the Zalo webhook URL in your Zalo Official Account so incoming messages reach this workflow. 3. Add a Google Calendar OAuth2 credential and set the target calendar account (currently configured as `[email protected]`) for all calendar operations. 4. Add a Google Gemini (PaLM) API credential for audio transcription and ensure voice messages include a reachable `voice_url`. 5. Add an OpenAI API credential, select the chat model you want to use (currently `gpt-5-mini`), and adjust the system prompt/tone if needed.

Track post-therapy wellness with GPT-4o-mini, Telegram, Slack and Sheets

## Quick Overview This workflow uses Google Sheets, OpenAI, Telegram, and Slack to send post-therapy check-in messages, analyze patient replies for sentiment and risk, alert therapists to at-risk responses, and log non-urgent replies for ongoing wellness tracking. ## How it works 1. Runs every hour on a schedule trigger. 2. Reads session records from Google Sheets and keeps only sessions that have a session date and have not been marked as check-in sent. 3. Uses OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) to generate a personalized, non-clinical Telegram check-in message from the patient’s session details. 4. Sends the check-in to the patient via Telegram and updates the Google Sheets session row to store the message and mark the check-in as sent. 5. Triggers on incoming Telegram messages, looks up the patient in a Google Sheets master list by Telegram ID, and selects the most relevant recent session to provide context. 6. Sends the patient reply and session context to OpenAI for JSON-formatted sentiment classification and parses the result into structured fields. 7. If the sentiment is classified as at-risk, posts an urgent alert to a Slack channel; otherwise, appends the reply and sentiment details to a Google Sheets wellness log. ## Setup 1. Connect Google Sheets OAuth credentials and update the spreadsheet document ID and sheet names for Sessions, Patients_Master, and Wellness_Log. 2. Create and connect a Telegram bot credential, set up the Telegram trigger webhook, and ensure patient Telegram chat IDs are stored in Google Sheets. 3. Add an OpenAI API key credential and confirm the selected model (gpt-4o-mini) meets your requirements. 4. Connect Slack OAuth credentials and replace the placeholder Slack channel ID used for therapist alerts, and confirm the error-alert channel is set correctly. 5. Verify your Google Sheets columns match the workflow’s expected fields (for example session_id, checkin_sent, checkin_message_sent, therapist_slack_id) before activating.
