YouTube and Telegram integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for YouTube and Telegram and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Marketing, Communication, and HITL workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect YouTube and Telegram

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure YouTube and Telegram nodes

You can find YouTube and Telegram in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure YouTube and Telegram nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect YouTube and Telegram

A connection establishes a link between YouTube and Telegram (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your YouTube and Telegram integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect YouTube and Telegram with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your YouTube and Telegram workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from YouTube to Telegram or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Create & Upload AI-Generated ASMR YouTube Shorts with Seedance, Fal AI, and GPT-4

//ASMR AI Workflow Who is this for? Content Creators, YouTube Automation Enthusiasts, and AI Hobbyists looking to autonomously generate and publish unique, satisfying ASMR-style YouTube Shorts without manual effort. What problem does this solve? This workflow solves the creative bottleneck and time-consuming nature of daily content creation. It fully automates the entire production pipeline, from brainstorming trendy ideas to publishing a finished video, turning your n8n instance into a 24/7 content factory. What this workflow does Two-Stage AI Ideation & Planning: Uses an initial AI agent to brainstorm a short, viral ASMR concept based on current trends. A second "Planning" AI agent then takes this concept and expands it into a detailed, structured production plan, complete with a viral-optimized caption, hashtags, and descriptions for the environment and sound. Multi-Modal Asset Generation: Video:* Feeds detailed scene prompts to the ByteDance Seedance* text-to-video model (via Wavespeed AI) to generate high-quality video clips. Audio:* Simultaneously calls the Fal AI* text-to-audio model to create custom, soothing ASMR sound effects that match the video's theme. Assembly:** Automatically sequences the video clips and sound into a single, cohesive final video file using an FFMPEG API call. Closed-Loop Publishing & Logging: Logging:** Initially logs the new idea to a Google Sheet with a status of "In Progress". Publishing:** Automatically uploads the final, assembled video directly to your YouTube channel, setting the title and description from the AI's plan. Updating:** Finds the original row in the Google Sheet and updates its status to "Done", adding a direct link to the newly published YouTube video. Notifications:** Sends real-time alerts to Telegram and/or Gmail with the video title and link, confirming the successful publication. Setup Credentials: You will need to create credentials in your n8n instance for the following services: OpenAI API Wavespeed AI API (for Seedance) Fal AI API Google OAuth Credential (enable YouTube Data API v3 and Google Sheets API in your Google Cloud Project) Telegram Bot Credential (Optional) Gmail OAuth Credential Configuration: This is an advanced workflow. The initial setup should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Google Sheet:* Create a Google Sheet with these columns: idea, caption, production_status, youtube_url. Add the Sheet ID* to the Google Sheets nodes in the workflow. Node Configuration:** In the Telegram Notification node, enter your own Chat ID. In the Gmail Notification node, update the recipient email address. Activate:** Once configured, save and set the workflow to "Active" to let it run on its schedule. How to customize Creative Direction:* To change the style or theme of the videos (e.g., from kinetic sand to soap cutting), simply edit the systemMessage in the "2. Enrich Idea into Plan" and "Prompts AI Agent"* nodes. Initial Ideas:* To influence the AI's starting concepts, modify the prompt in the "1. Generate Trendy Idea"* node. Video & Sound:* To change the video duration or sound style, adjust the parameters in the "Create Clips" and "Create Sounds"* nodes. Notifications:* Add or remove notification channels (like Slack or Discord) after the "Upload to YouTube"* node.
