Automated Gold Price Tracker with Multiple Currency Conversion for Telegram

This n8n workflow provides an automated solution to track the current price of gold, convert it into multiple currencies, and send regular updates to a Telegram chat. It's designed for users who want to stay informed about gold prices in different denominations without manual checks.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

1. Scheduled Trigger: The workflow is initiated on a predefined schedule (e.g., daily, hourly).
2. Fetch Gold Price: It makes an HTTP request to an external API to retrieve the latest gold price data.
3. Process and Transform Data: The raw data from the API is processed and transformed using a Code node to extract relevant gold prices and prepare them for currency conversion.
4. Currency Conversion: It likely performs calculations or makes additional API calls (though not explicitly shown in the provided JSON, this is inferred from the title and common use cases for such a tracker) to convert the gold price into various currencies.
5. Format Output: The Edit Fields (Set) node prepares the data into a readable format suitable for a Telegram message.
6. Merge Data: The Merge node combines data streams, ensuring all necessary information is present before sending the message.
7. Send Telegram Message: Finally, it sends a formatted message containing the gold price in different currencies to a specified Telegram chat.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• API Key for Gold Price Data: An API key for a service that provides current gold prices (e.g., Goldprice.org API, or similar). This will be configured in the HTTP Request node.
• Telegram Bot Token: A Telegram Bot Token to allow n8n to send messages to your chat. You can obtain this by creating a new bot via BotFather on Telegram.
• Telegram Chat ID: The Chat ID of the Telegram group or user where you want to receive the updates.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:
   • Download the provided JSON workflow.
   • In your n8n instance, click "New" in the workflows sidebar.
   • Click the "Import from JSON" button and paste the workflow JSON.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • HTTP Request Node (ID: 19): Update the URL and add any required headers or query parameters for your chosen gold price API. Ensure your API key is securely stored as a credential if needed.
   • Telegram Node (ID: 49):
     • Create a new Telegram API credential.
     • Enter your Telegram Bot Token.
     • In the Telegram node itself, specify the Chat ID where you want to receive the updates.
3. Customize Data Processing (Code Node ID: 834):
   • Review the Code node to understand how it processes the gold price data. You may need to adjust the JavaScript code based on the exact structure of the data returned by your chosen gold price API and the currencies you wish to track.
4. Customize Output (Edit Fields Node ID: 38):
   • Adjust the Edit Fields (Set) node to format the output message as desired for your Telegram updates.
5. Set Schedule (Schedule Trigger Node ID: 839):
   • Configure the Schedule Trigger node to define how often you want to receive updates (e.g., every hour, once a day).
6. Activate the Workflow:
   • Once all configurations are complete, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the n8n editor.

The workflow will now run automatically based on your defined schedule, fetching gold prices, converting them, and sending updates to your Telegram chat.
