Slack and Telegram integration

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

How to connect Slack 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 Slack and Telegram nodes

You can find Slack 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 Slack and Telegram nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Slack and Telegram

A connection establishes a link between Slack 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 Slack 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 Slack and Telegram with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Slack and Telegram workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Slack 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.

Monitor Multiple Github Repos via Webhook

What this workflow does

This workflow allows you to monitor multiple Github repos simultaneously without polling due to use of Webhooks. It programmatically allows for adding and deleting of repos to your watchlist to make management convenient.

Description

  • Can monitor multiple repos simultaneously.
  • Programmatically register or unregister repos from a list. No need for manual work.
  • Webhook notification means no constant polling necessary.

Setup

1. Creating Credentials on Github

Generate a personal access token on github by following these esteps;

  • Right hand side of page -> Settings -> scroll to bottom -> Developer Settings > Personal Access Token > Tokens (classic) > Generate New Token
  • Give scopes:
    admin:repo_hook
    repo (if you want to use it for your own private repo)

if you need more help, see here:
https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens

2. Setting Credentials in n8n

In Register Github Webhook
Authenticaion > Generic Credential Type
Generic Auth Type > Header Auth
Header Auth > Create New Credential with Name set to 'Authorization' and Value set to 'Bearer <YOUR GITHUB TOKEN HERE>'.
(You can reuse this for Delete Github Webhook and Get Existing Webhooks).
Now in Register Github Webhook, scroll down to Send Body > JSON and inside the JSON, change the value of "url" to the webhook address given as Production URL in the node Webhook Trigger.

3. Notification settings

In the third row, link up the Webhook Trigger to any API of your choice. Slack and Telegram are given as examples.
You can also format the notification message as you wish.

Setup time: roughly 10 minutes.

Test

1. Register Webhooks

  • In Repos to Monitor, add any repo you want to monitor changes for.
  • Disable Webhook Trigger, Click Test Workflow and if your Github credentials were set correctly, it will automatically register the webhooks. - You can test this by running the single node Get Existing Webhook and confirming it outputs the repo addresses.

2. Handle Github Events

  • Now that you have registered the webhooks, re-enable Webhook Trigger and activate the workflow.
  • Make a commit to any of the registered repos.
  • Confirm that the notification went through.
    That's it!
