Manage Google Tasks from Telegram using text or voice. A chat assistant reads your message, creates tasks, lists what is due, and marks work as done. Useful for teams and busy owners who plan inside Telegram.

Incoming Telegram messages start the flow. A Switch node checks if you sent text or a voice note. Voice notes are downloaded and transcribed by OpenAI, while text goes straight in. The AI agent uses OpenAI with short term memory per user and calls Google Tasks tools through an MCP bridge to get lists, create new tasks for today or upcoming, and update tasks only after pulling the right IDs. Replies are sent back to Telegram so you see results in chat.

Setup needs a Telegram bot, a Google Tasks account, and an OpenAI API key. Expect faster capture of ideas, fewer missed items, and clear status updates inside Telegram. It works well for task triage, field notes, and personal reminders when typing is hard. Start by connecting your accounts, choosing your Google Task lists, and testing with both text and voice.

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with Telegram, Google Tasks and OpenAI. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. In Telegram, create a bot with BotFather and copy the bot token. In n8n, open the Telegram Trigger node and the Telegram Send node, choose Create new credential, and paste the token. Save the credentials.
4. Open the OpenAI Chat Model and Transcribe Audio nodes. From the credential dropdown, create a new OpenAI credential. Get your API key from the OpenAI dashboard and paste it. Select the gpt 4o mini model in the chat node.
5. Open each Google Tasks node. From the credential dropdown, click Create new credential and follow the on screen steps to connect your Google account by OAuth2. Save when complete.
6. In the Google Tasks nodes for getting and creating tasks, pick your task lists for today and upcoming from the dropdowns so IDs match your account.
7. Confirm the Switch node has two paths: one for voice notes and one for text. Keep the default rules to detect audio messages.
8. Check the Simple Memory node. It uses the Telegram user ID to keep short term context. Leave this as is to keep per user history.
9. Ensure the Telegram Send node uses the chat ID from the trigger so replies go back to the same chat. This is already mapped but verify before testing.
10. Activate the workflow and send a text message to your bot like Create a task to follow up with Alex tomorrow. Check that the task appears in your chosen Google list.
11. Record a short voice note asking to add a task for today. Confirm the audio is transcribed and a new task is created. Look for the bot reply in Telegram.
12. If messages do not arrive, verify the Telegram credentials and that the workflow is active. If tasks do not show up, reselect the correct Google Task lists. If audio fails, try a shorter file or check your OpenAI key and usage limits.
