How to Automate Telegram Market Intelligence?

Every morning, your team gets a clear AI news briefing in Telegram. It collects headlines from two news sources, picks the top items, translates them to Traditional Chinese, and sends one readable summary. Great for leaders, marketers, and analysts who need fast updates without manual research.

A daily schedule at 8 am starts the run. Two HTTP calls pull English AI news from GNews and NewsAPI. Set nodes normalize both feeds into the same articles field, then a Merge node combines them. An AI agent using GPT 4.1 ranks the best 15 links, writes short summaries, and translates them. The final digest is posted to your chosen Telegram chat. You get broader coverage, a consistent format, and content ready for Chinese speaking readers.

You will need API keys for GNews and NewsAPI, a Telegram bot token and chat ID, and an OpenAI API key. Expect to cut news monitoring from about an hour to a few minutes each day. Useful for daily market watch, executive briefings, and content curation. You can change keywords, timing, and writing style to match your niche and audience.

What are the key features?

  • Daily schedule runs at 8 am to kick off the process
  • HTTP request to GNews pulls English AI articles
  • HTTP request to NewsAPI pulls up to 20 items sorted by publish date
  • Set nodes map both responses into a single articles field
  • Merge node combines the feeds for unified processing
  • AI agent with GPT 4.1 ranks, summarizes, and translates the top 15
  • Telegram node sends the final digest to a specific chat ID
  • Editable prompt lets you change tone, format, or target language

What are the benefits?

  • Reduce manual news scanning from 60 minutes to 3 minutes each day
  • Unify two news sources into one daily briefing in Telegram
  • Automate 100 percent of delivery at 8 am without human action
  • Improve language reach by translating to Traditional Chinese
  • Handle up to 40 articles per run and select the top 15
  • Cut research mistakes by standardizing sources and format

How do you set it up?

  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 GNews, NewsAPI, OpenAI and Telegram. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
  3. Open the GPT 4.1 model node. In the credential dropdown, click Create new credential, choose OpenAI, and paste your OpenAI API key from the OpenAI API page. Save and select this credential.
  4. Create a Telegram bot with BotFather and copy the bot token. In n8n, open the Send summary to Telegram node, create a new Telegram Bot credential, paste the token, and save. Enter the target chat ID in the node.
  5. For NewsAPI, sign in at newsapi.org to get your API key. Open the Fetch NewsAPI articles node and set the X-Api-Key header to your key. Keep q = AI, language = en, sortBy = publishedAt, and pageSize = 20.
  6. For GNews, sign in at gnews.io to get your API key. Open the Fetch GNews articles node and add apikey in the query with your key. Keep q = AI and lang = en.
  7. Open the GNews: Map to articles and NewsAPI: Map to articles nodes. Confirm the articles field maps to the expression {{$json.articles}} in each node.
  8. Run a test by clicking Execute Workflow. Check your Telegram chat for the digest. If nothing arrives, verify API keys, chat ID, and API quotas.
  9. Change the delivery time by opening the Trigger at 8am daily node and selecting your preferred hour.
  10. Edit the AI summarizer prompt to adjust the number of items, tone, and translation settings. Save and run again to confirm the new style.
  11. If you see empty or partial results, add continue on fail in the HTTP nodes and review the Execution log to check rate limits or keyword filters.
  12. Once stable, activate the workflow so the digest posts automatically every morning.
