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.

Note: Automation through webhooks is available only 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 and click + New Workflow.
2. Give your workflow a name, e.g., Feedspace to Telegram Notifications.

Step 3: Add a Webhook Trigger Node

1. Click Add first step, search for Webhook, and select the Webhook trigger node.
2. Set HTTP Method to POST and copy the Webhook URL.
3. Click Listen for test event.

Step 4: Register the Webhook in Feedspace

1. In Feedspace, go to Automation → Webhooks tab.
2. Click Add Webhook, paste your n8n URL, and select the New Testimonial event.
3. Click Save.

Step 5: Add a Telegram Node

1. In n8n, click + after the Webhook node.
2. Search for Telegram and select it.
3. Choose Send Message as the operation.
4. Click Create new credential and enter your Telegram Bot Token.
5. Enter the Chat ID of your target chat.
6. Compose the Text using dynamic fields from the webhook body. For example:
   • New testimonial from {{ $json.reviewer_name }}: {{ $json.star_rating }} stars. {{ $json.testimonial_url }}

Step 6: Test and Activate the Workflow

Submit a test testimonial in Feedspace. Confirm the Telegram message arrives in your chat. Once confirmed, click Activate. Every new Feedspace testimonial will now automatically send a Telegram message.
