    Inputs → Processing Steps → Outputs

    Inputs

    • Incoming Telegram messages containing text, voice audio, or images.

    Processing Steps

    • Validation: Checks if the sender is in allowed user list.
    • Routing: Switches message flow based on message type (text, audio, or image).
    • Audio Handling: Downloads voice note, transcribes speech to text via OpenAI, then classifies text as task or general.
    • Text Handling: Extracts message text, classifies it similarly.
    • Image Handling: Downloads image file, converts it to base64, analyzes image content with OpenAI.
    • Unknown Messages: Detects unsupported types and sends generic reply.

    Outputs

    Edge Cases and Failures

    • Webhook not receiving updates: Verify webhook URL uses HTTPS and Telegram returns ok: true.
    • Messages from unauthorized users get blocked by validation.
    • Audio transcription can fail if voice file is not properly downloaded or binary property is wrong.
    • Unknown message types trigger generic error replies.

    Customization Ideas

    • Change validation list for allowed users by editing the Set node "Validation".
    • Add handling for other message types like videos or documents by expanding Switch node "Message Router".
    • Tune OpenAI node parameters like model or prompt for improved accuracy.
    • Personalize Telegram replies by editing message text in nodes like "Text Task Message".
    • Add logging nodes to save processed data to a database or spreadsheet.

    Pre-Production Checklist

    • Confirm that Telegram bot token is correct and active.
    • Test that webhook URLs respond properly on HTTPS.
    • Send test messages of all supported types from authorized users.
    • Check AI classification and transcription outputs.
    • Verify replies are sent correctly according to message type.

    Deployment Guide

    Turn on the Webhook node to activate.
    Keep an eye on workflow error logs.
    Use self-host n8n on a server for constant uptime.
    Regularly review logs to improve classification and validation.

    Update the "Validation" set node in n8n with the new users' first names, last names, and user IDs.

    What causes audio transcription to fail?

    Audio transcription fails if the voice file is not downloaded correctly or if the binary property in the OpenAI node is not set to the audio data.
