Search music and play to Spotify from Telegram

This workflow is a simple demonstration on accessing a message model from Telegram and it makes searching for songs an easy task even if you can't remember the artist or song name. An OpenAI message model tries to figure out the song and sends it to an active Spotify device**.

Use case Imagine an office where you play music in the background and the employees can control the music without having to login to the playing account.

How it works

  • You describe the song in Telegram.
  • Telegram bot sends the text to n8n.
  • An OpenAI message model tries to find the song.
  • Spotify gets the search query string.
  • First match is then added to queue. -- If there is no match a message is sent to Telegram and the process ends.
  • We change to the next track in the list.
  • We make sure the song starts playing by trying to resume.
  • We fetch the currently playing track.
  • We return "now playing" information to Telegram: Song Name - Artist Name - Album Name.

Error handling

  • Every Spotify step has it's on error handler under settings where we output the error.
  • Message parser receives the error and sends it to Telegram.

Requirements

  • Active workflow*
  • OpenAI API key
  • Telegram bot
  • Spotify account and Oauth2 API
  • Spotify active on a device**

.* The Telegram trigger is activated only if this workflow is active. You can however TEST the workflow in the editor by clicking "Test step" and then it waits for the Telegram event. When event is received, just step through all steps or just clicking "Test step" on the "Fetch Now Playing" node.

.** You must have a Spotify device active when trying to communicate with a device. Open Spotify and play something - not it is active.

Telegram to Spotify with OpenAI

This n8n workflow acts as an intelligent assistant, allowing you to send text messages to a Telegram bot, have an AI interpret your request for music, and then automatically add the identified song to a Spotify playlist. It simplifies the process of curating music by leveraging natural language processing and automation.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

  1. Listens for Telegram Messages: It continuously monitors a configured Telegram bot for incoming messages.
  2. Analyzes Message with OpenAI: When a message is received, it sends the message content to OpenAI. OpenAI then processes the text to understand the user's intent and extract relevant song information (artist, song title).
  3. Searches Spotify: Using the information provided by OpenAI, the workflow searches Spotify for the specified song.
  4. Adds Song to Spotify Playlist: If a matching song is found on Spotify, it adds the song to a pre-defined Spotify playlist.
  5. Confirms via Telegram: It sends a confirmation message back to the user on Telegram, indicating whether the song was successfully added or if there was an issue.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • Telegram Bot Token: A Telegram bot set up with a token.
  • OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI (e.g., for GPT models).
  • Spotify Account: A Spotify account and a Spotify Developer application for API access.
  • Spotify Playlist ID: The ID of the Spotify playlist where you want to add songs.
  • n8n Credentials: Configured credentials in n8n for Telegram, OpenAI, and Spotify.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow:
    • Download the provided JSON file.
    • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
    • Click the "Import from JSON" button and paste the workflow JSON or upload the file.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Click on the "Telegram Trigger" node and configure your Telegram Bot API credentials.
    • Click on the "OpenAI" node and configure your OpenAI API Key credentials.
    • Click on the "Spotify" node and configure your Spotify API credentials.
  3. Activate the Workflow:
    • Once all credentials are set up, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the n8n editor.
  4. Interact with your Telegram Bot:
    • Send a message to your Telegram bot, requesting a song. For example: "Add 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen to my playlist."
    • The workflow will process your request, add the song to Spotify, and send a confirmation message back to you.

Automated YouTube video uploads with 12h interval scheduling in JST

This workflow automates a batch upload of multiple videos to YouTube, spacing each upload 12 hours apart in Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and automatically adding them to a playlist. βš™οΈ Workflow Logic Manual Trigger β€” Starts the workflow manually. List Video Files β€” Uses a shell command to find all .mp4 files under the specified directory (/opt/downloads/单词卑/A1-A2). Sort and Generate Items β€” Sorts videos by day number (dayXX) extracted from filenames and assigns a sequential order value. Calculate Publish Schedule (+12h Interval) β€” Computes the next rounded JST hour plus a configurable buffer (default 30 min). Staggers each video’s scheduled time by order Γ— 12 hours. Converts JST back to UTC for YouTube’s publishAt field. Split in Batches (1 per video) β€” Iterates over each video item. Read Video File β€” Loads the corresponding video from disk. Upload to YouTube (Scheduled) β€” Uploads the video privately with the computed publishAtUtc. Add to Playlist β€” Adds the newly uploaded video to the target playlist. πŸ•’ Highlights Timezone-safe: Pure UTC ↔ JST conversion avoids double-offset errors. Sequential scheduling: Ensures each upload is 12 hours apart to prevent clustering. Customizable: Change SPANHOURS, BUFFERMIN, or directory paths easily. Retry-ready: Each upload and playlist step has retry logic to handle transient errors. πŸ’‘ Typical Use Cases Multi-part educational video series (e.g., A1–A2 English learning).
