Control your n8n instance remotely with Telegram bot commands
This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Your n8n Command Center in a Telegram Chat Remotely manage and operate your n8n instance from Telegram with powerful admin commands. This workflow connects your n8n instance with a Telegram Bot, giving you remote control over key admin operations through simple chat commands. 📱 You can List your workflows (workflows) Execute a workflow (execute [name]) Activate/deactivate workflows (activate [name], deactivate [name]) List past executions (executions [name]) Permanently delete archived workflows (cleanup) Create backups of all your workflows and credentials (backup) Get help (help) Get notified when a workflow fails and when n8n instance starts. This is especially useful for self-hosted instances when you want quick access to your automation environment from your mobile device. 📌 Notes backup only works on self-hosted setups. execute, activate, deactivate, and executions require the workflow name as argument. Workflows must contain the appropriate trigger nodes to be executed or activated. Commands and arguments are not case sensitive, there is no need to prefix with slash and spaces in the argument name are supported. ⚙️ Setup Create your credentials for Telegram API and n8n API. Edit all Telegram and n8n nodes. Select your credentials on them. On telegram nodes provide your chatid. Detailed step-by-step instructions are available in the workflow notes. In each workflow that fails and you want to receive a warning, configure this workflow as Error Workflow in its settings.
By Arthur BraghettoAI content creation and publishing engine with Mistral, Creatomate, and YouTube
Description This n8n workflow automates the entire process of creating and publishing AI-generated videos, triggered by a simple message from a Telegram bot (YTAdmin). It transforms a text prompt into a structured video with scenes, visuals, and voiceover, stores assets in MongoDB, renders the final output using Creatomate, and uploads the video to YouTube. Throughout the process, YTAdmin receives real-time updates on the workflow’s progress. This is ideal for content creators, marketers, or businesses looking to scale video production using automation and AI. --- You can see a video demonstrating this template in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjI-ChpJ4xA&t=200s --- How it Works Trigger: Message from YTAdmin (Telegram Bot) The flow starts when YTAdmin sends a content prompt. Generate Structured Content A Mistral language model processes the input and outputs structured content, typically broken into scenes. Split & Process Content into Scenes The content is split into categorized parts for scene generation. Generate Media Assets For each scene: Images: Generated using OpenAI’s image model. Voiceovers: Created using OpenAI’s text-to-speech. Audio files are encoded and stored in MongoDB. Scene Composition Assets are grouped into coherent scenes. Render with Creatomate A complete payload is generated and sent to the Creatomate rendering API to produce the video. Progress messages are sent to YTAdmin. The flow pauses briefly to avoid rate limits. Render Callback Once Creatomate completes rendering, it sends a callback to the flow. If the render fails, an error message is sent to YTAdmin. If the render succeeds, the flow proceeds to post-processing. Generate Title & Description A second Mistral prompt generates a compelling title and description for YouTube. Upload to YouTube The rendered video is retrieved from Creatomate. It’s uploaded to YouTube with the AI-generated metadata. Final Update A success message is sent to YTAdmin, confirming upload completion. --- Set Up Steps (Approx. 10–15 Minutes)Step 1: Set Up YTAdmin Bot Create a Telegram bot via BotFather and get your API token. Add this token in n8n's Telegram credentials and link to the "Receive Message from YTAdmin" trigger. Step 2: Connect Your AI Providers Mistral: Add your API key under HTTP Request or AI Model nodes. OpenAI: Create an account at platform.openai.com and obtain an API key. Use it for both image generation and voiceover synthesis. Step 3: Configure Audio File Storage with MongoDB via Custom API Receives the Base64 encoded audio data sent in the request body. Connects to the configured MongoDB instance (connection details are managed securely within the API- code below). Uses the MongoDB driver and GridFS to store the audio data. Returns the unique _id (ObjectId) of the stored file in GridFS as a response. This _id is crucial as it will be used in subsequent steps to generate the download URL for the audio file. My API code can be found here for reference: https://github.com/nanabrownsnr/YTAutomation.git Step 4: Set Up Creatomate Create a Creatomate account, define your video templates, and retrieve your API key. Configure the HTTP request node to match your Creatomate payload requirements. Step 5: Connect YouTube In n8n, add OAuth2 credentials for your YouTube account. Make sure your Google Cloud project has YouTube Data API enabled. Step 6: Deploy and Test Send a message to YTAdmin and monitor the flow in n8n. Verify that content is generated, media is created, and the final video is rendered and uploaded. --- Customization Options Change the AI Prompts Modify the generation prompts to adjust tone, voice, or content type (e.g., news recaps, product videos, educational summaries). Switch Messaging Platform Replace Telegram (YTAdmin) with Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp by swapping out the trigger and response nodes. Add Subtitles or Effects Integrate Whisper or another speech-to-text tool to generate subtitles. Add overlay or transition effects in the Creatomate video payload. Use Local File Storage Instead of MongoDB Swap out MongoDB upload http nodes with filesystem or S3-compatible storage. Repurpose for Other Platforms Swap YouTube upload with TikTok, Instagram, or Vimeo endpoints for broader publishing. --- Need Help or Want to Customize This Workflow?
