How Do I Automate Telegram Notifications with n8n?

Overview

Feedspace integrates with Telegram through n8n using webhooks. When a new testimonial arrives in Feedspace, a webhook fires to your n8n workflow, which sends a Telegram message to your bot chat or channel.

Automation through webhooks is available on Professional and Business plans in Feedspace. Telegram notifications also require a Telegram Bot Token.

Step 1: Create a Telegram bot

1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather.
2. Send the command /newbot and follow the prompts to name your bot.
3. Copy the Bot Token provided by BotFather.
4. Get the Chat ID for your target chat (use @userinfobot to find your own Chat ID).

Step 2: Create a workflow in n8n

1. Log in to your n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted). On the home screen, click Build a workflow.
2. Click the workflow name My workflow at the top to rename it, e.g., Feedspace to Telegram Notifications.

Step 3: Add a webhook trigger node

1. Click Add first step…
2. A panel opens showing “What triggers this workflow?”. Select On webhook call.
3. In the Webhook node panel, change HTTP Method from GET to POST.
4. Click the Production URL tab and copy the webhook URL — you will need this in the next step.

Step 4: Register the webhook in Feedspace

1. Log in to your Feedspace dashboard and click Automation in the left sidebar.
2. Click the Webhook tab.
3. Click Create Webhook and paste your n8n URL into the Endpoint URL field.
4. Click Create Webhook to save. All available events are subscribed by default.
5. Click Activate in the Action column on the new webhook row to start sending event data to n8n.

Step 5: Add a Telegram node

1. In n8n, click + after the Webhook node.
2. Search for Telegram, click it, and select Send message from the Actions panel.
3. Click Create new credential and enter your Telegram Bot Token.
4. Enter the Chat ID of your target chat.
5. Compose the Text using dynamic fields from the webhook body, such as {{ $json.body.reviewer_name }} and {{ $json.body.testimonial_text }}.

Step 6: Test and activate the workflow

1. In the Webhook node panel, click Listen for test event, then submit a test testimonial in Feedspace. Verify that n8n receives the payload and a Telegram message arrives in your chat.
2. Click Publish in the top right. The workflow will now run automatically for every new testimonial.

What’s next

• Use n8n’s IF node to filter by star rating before sending the Telegram message.
• Add a second Telegram node to notify a different chat or channel.
• Combine with a Google Sheets node to log testimonials at the same time.

Common questions

How do I find my Telegram Chat ID?

Add @userinfobot to Telegram and send it a message, and it will reply with your Chat ID. For group chats, add the bot to the group and send a message there.

Can I send notifications to a Telegram group or channel?

Yes. Use the group’s or channel’s Chat ID in the Telegram node. For channels, your bot must be added as an administrator.

What data does Feedspace send in the webhook payload?

The payload includes fields such as reviewer_name, star_rating, testimonial_text, and testimonial_url, which you can map directly into your Telegram message.
