1.1 Workflow description

Title
Send Murban crude futures price alerts with HTTP request and Telegram
Workflow name
Send Murban crude futures price alerts with HTTP request and Telegram

Quick Overview

This workflow runs at multiple set times during market hours, fetches Murban crude futures prices from OilPrice.com, formats a forward-curve report in code, aggregates the output, and sends the resulting HTML-formatted alert to a Telegram chat.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule at specified weekdays and times to align with market hours.
  2. Fetches Murban crude futures data from OilPrice.com using an HTTP request.
  3. Formats the futures data into an HTML Telegram message that includes front-month stats, near-term contracts, forward curve shape, and the full curve.
  4. Aggregates the generated message payload into a single output.
  5. Sends the formatted crude price report to a specified Telegram chat.

Setup

  1. Add Telegram API credentials and set your target Telegram chat ID in the Telegram node.
  2. Review and adjust the schedule trigger times (days/hours/minutes) to match your market hours and timezone needs.
  3. Confirm the OilPrice.com URL is accessible from your n8n instance and update the HTTP request URL if your data source changes.
  4. Update the code step to parse live HTTP response data (it currently uses a hardcoded contracts array) and to remove/align any placeholder chat_id fields with your Telegram configuration.

  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.
