1. Opening Problem Statement
Meet Sarah, an owner of a fast-growing WooCommerce store selling artisan home goods. Every time she adds a new product to her online shop, she manually writes and posts announcements on her Twitter account and Telegram channel to inform her followers. This process consumes 30+ minutes daily and occasionally she forgets to make these posts, resulting in lost customer engagement and missed sales opportunities.
For Sarah, manual posting is error-prone, time-consuming, and inconsistent — reducing her store’s promotional effectiveness at a critical growth stage. She needs a reliable automation that makes her updates seamless and instantaneous.
2. What This Automation Does
This specific n8n workflow listens for new products created in your WooCommerce store and automatically posts a formatted announcement on both Twitter and Telegram without any manual input.
- Instantly announce new products: As soon as a product is added, followers on Twitter and Telegram get notified.
- Consistent messaging: Same well-crafted message on both channels eliminates discrepancies.
- Time savings: Saves Sarah over 30 minutes daily she used to spend posting.
- Multi-channel reach: Engage audiences on social media (Twitter) and messaging app communities (Telegram) simultaneously.
- Easy to customize: Message content is dynamically generated with product name and URL.
- Reduce human error: Automates posting to ensure no product announcement is skipped.
3. Prerequisites ⚙️
- n8n account (cloud or self-hosted) 🔌
- WooCommerce store with REST API enabled and API credentials 🔑
- Twitter developer account and OAuth1 credentials for posting 📧
- Telegram bot with chat ID to send messages 💬
4. Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Connect WooCommerce Trigger node
From the n8n editor, drag a “WooCommerce Trigger” node onto the canvas.
Click the node, then under Credentials, select your WooCommerce API credentials.
In the Parameters panel, set the event to product.created. This ensures the trigger activates every time a new product is added.
You should see a webhook URL generated; this is used by WooCommerce to send product creation events to n8n.
Common mistake: Forgetting to configure WooCommerce webhook to send events to this URL will prevent automation from triggering.
Step 2: Configure Twitter node for product announcements
Drag a “Twitter” node onto the canvas and draw a connection from the WooCommerce Trigger node to it.
Under Credentials, choose your Twitter OAuth1 API credentials.
In the Text field, enter this template to dynamically incorporate product details:
=✨ New Product Announcement ✨
We have just added {{$json["name"]}}, Head to {{$json["permalink"]}} to find out more.This uses n8n expression syntax to pull from the WooCommerce event data.
Expected outcome: A tweet like “✨ New Product Announcement ✨ We have just added Artisan Vase, Head to https://yourstore.com/artisan-vase to find out more.”
Common mistake: Missing or incorrect OAuth credentials will cause the Twitter node to fail posting.
Step 3: Configure Telegram node to notify followers
Similarly, add a “Telegram” node next to the Twitter node and connect it to the WooCommerce Trigger node.
Select your Telegram API credentials.
In the message text input, enter the same dynamic message template as for Twitter.
Set the Chat ID to the Telegram channel or group ID where announcements should be posted.
Expected result: Your Telegram channel receives a message announcing the new product.
Common mistake: Using an incorrect Chat ID or forgetting to add your bot to the channel will prevent message delivery.
Step 4: Test the webhook trigger and messages
In WooCommerce, create a new product or simulate a webhook call to verify the workflow triggers and both channels receive the announcement message.
If successful, the workflow status should show execution logs, and tweets/messages appear in your Twitter feed and Telegram channel.
5. Customizations ✏️
- Customize message content: Modify the text in Twitter and Telegram nodes to include other product data like price with
{{$json["price"]}}. - Post to additional platforms: Add nodes for Facebook, LinkedIn, or email notification by duplicating message nodes and tailoring formats.
- Conditional announcements: Use IF node before posting to only share products in a certain category or above a price threshold.
6. Troubleshooting 🔧
Problem: “Twitter node fails to post with OAuth error.”
Cause: OAuth credentials expired or incorrectly entered.
Solution: Re-generate Twitter API keys in developer portal, update credentials in n8n.
Problem: “Telegram messages not sent.”
Cause: Invalid chat ID or bot not added to Telegram group.
Solution: Verify chat ID from Telegram, add bot as admin member to the target channel.
7. Pre-Production Checklist ✅
- Verify WooCommerce webhook URL is set correctly and active.
- Test Twitter API credentials by posting a test tweet.
- Send a test message via Telegram node to confirm bot access.
- Check n8n webhook status and execution logs for errors.
8. Deployment Guide
Activate the workflow in n8n by toggling it from inactive to active.
Make sure your WooCommerce store is set to send real webhook events to n8n’s webhook URL.
Monitor workflow runs via n8n’s execution logs to ensure messages post correctly on product creation.
9. FAQs
Q: Can I use this workflow if I don’t have a Telegram channel?
A: Yes, simply remove or disable the Telegram node. You can also add other messaging nodes compatible with n8n.
Q: Does each posted message consume Twitter API credits?
A: Yes, Twitter API has rate limits and usage restrictions. Monitor your API usage in your Twitter developer dashboard.
Q: Is my product data secure?
A: All data flows inside your n8n environment and your API credentials secure the connections. Use best practices like environment variables and credential vaults.
