Telegram Pet Grooming Bot – Social Media & Booking Automation

This workflow automates Facebook posting and appointment booking directly from a Telegram bot, making it especially useful for pet grooming businesses that want to keep their social media active while also confirming new bookings in real time.

If you are managing posts manually and handling bookings through chat, this workflow replaces that with an integrated system that connects Telegram, Google Sheets, Facebook, Google Calendar, and AI models.

Use case: Perfect for grooming shops that want to streamline customer communication, reduce missed appointments, and keep a steady flow of engaging Facebook content.


How It Works

  1. Trigger Input

    • The workflow starts when a Telegram user sends either:

      • /post → to publish the next pending social media post.
      • /book → to schedule a grooming appointment.
      • Or when the workflow runs on a schedule for auto-posting.
  2. Social Media Posting

    • The workflow retrieves the first entry from a Google Sheet where Uploaded = Fa.
    • An AI model analyzes the pet image and generates a warm, engaging caption.
    • The post (image + caption) is published to your Facebook Page.
    • The Google Sheet is updated to mark the post as “Uploaded,” keeping the content queue organized.
  3. Appointment Booking

    • When a user sends /book, the bot collects booking details (pet name, date, and time).

    • The AI model interprets natural inputs like “next Friday at 2 pm” into a proper date-time format.

    • Availability is checked in Google Calendar.

      • If free → a new event is created, and the bot sends a confirmation.
      • If unavailable → the user receives a rejection message with alternative suggestions.
  4. Post Queueing

    • When a user sends an image with a caption, the workflow saves it to the Post Queue Google Sheet.
    • This keeps posts lined up for later scheduling.

Google Sheet Queue Structure

Example queue columns:

  • Image_URL
  • Pet_Name
  • Owner_Name
  • Uploaded (True/False)

How to Use

  1. Import this workflow into n8n.

  2. Connect your accounts in n8n:

    • Telegram Bot (via BotFather token).
    • Google Sheets (for the posting queue).
    • Google Calendar (for bookings).
    • Facebook Page (for publishing posts).
    • OpenAI / Google Gemini (for captioning and booking interpretation).
  3. Create a Google Sheet with the required columns (Image_URL, Pet_Name, Owner_Name, Uploaded).

  4. Start the workflow — your Telegram bot can now manage both posts and bookings automatically.


Requirements

  • Telegram Bot API Token (from BotFather).
  • Google Sheets + Calendar access (connected in n8n).
  • Facebook Page Admin access.
  • AI API Key (OpenAI or Google Gemini).
  • Basic knowledge of connecting credentials in n8n.

Customizing This Workflow

You can tailor this workflow to fit your business by:

  • Adding approval steps: Require admin approval before a queued post goes live.
  • Expanding queue fields: Track post type, hashtags, or scheduling time.
  • Custom booking logic: Adjust availability rules (e.g., block lunch breaks, add buffer time).
  • Integrating downstream apps: Sync confirmed bookings to CRM or send reminders via SMS/WhatsApp.

n8n Workflow: AI-Powered Pet Grooming Social Media Posts & Booking Management

This n8n workflow automates the creation of engaging social media posts for pet grooming services and manages booking requests received via Telegram. It leverages AI to generate creative content and integrates with Google Sheets, Google Calendar, and Facebook to streamline marketing and scheduling.

What it does

This workflow orchestrates several key processes:

  1. Triggers on Telegram Messages: It listens for incoming messages on a configured Telegram bot.
  2. Analyzes Telegram Commands: It uses a "Switch" node to differentiate between user commands, specifically looking for a "Book" command.
  3. Generates Social Media Posts (AI Agent):
    • If no specific command is detected, it uses an AI Agent (powered by OpenAI or Google Gemini) to brainstorm and generate creative ideas for pet grooming social media posts.
    • It then structures this AI-generated content into a consistent format using a "Structured Output Parser."
    • The generated post is then sent to a Google Sheet for review and storage.
    • Finally, the AI-generated post is published to a Facebook Page.
  4. Manages Booking Requests (AI Agent & Calendar):
    • If a "Book" command is detected in Telegram, an AI Agent (powered by OpenAI or Google Gemini) processes the booking request.
    • It extracts relevant details for a booking from the Telegram message.
    • It then creates a new event in Google Calendar based on the extracted booking information.
    • A confirmation message is sent back to the user via Telegram.
  5. Scheduled Social Media Posting: A "Schedule Trigger" can be configured to periodically run the social media post generation and publishing part of the workflow, ensuring a consistent online presence.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Telegram Bot Token: A Telegram bot configured with a token for the "Telegram Trigger" and "Telegram" nodes.
  • Google Account:
    • Google Sheets: A Google Sheet to store and manage AI-generated social media posts.
    • Google Calendar: A Google Calendar to manage booking appointments.
  • Facebook Page: A Facebook Page and a Facebook Graph API access token with appropriate permissions to publish posts.
  • AI Service:
    • OpenAI API Key OR
    • Google Gemini API Key
    • (The workflow is configured to use either OpenAI Chat Model or Google Gemini Chat Model and OpenAI or Google Gemini for AI Agent tasks.)

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your Telegram Bot API credential for both the "Telegram Trigger" and "Telegram" nodes.
    • Configure your Google OAuth credential for the "Google Sheets" and "Google Calendar" nodes.
    • Set up your Facebook Graph API credential for the "Facebook Graph API" node.
    • Configure your OpenAI API Key or Google Gemini API Key credentials for the respective AI nodes.
  3. Customize Nodes:
    • Telegram Trigger: Ensure the "Allowed Updates" and "Message Type" are configured as needed.
    • Google Sheets: Update the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name to your desired Google Sheet for social media posts.
    • Google Calendar: Update the Calendar ID where bookings should be created.
    • Facebook Graph API: Specify your Facebook Page ID and customize the message content for posts.
    • AI Agent / OpenAI Chat Model / Google Gemini Chat Model: Review the prompts and configurations for the AI models to ensure they generate content suitable for your pet grooming business.
    • Structured Output Parser: Adjust the schema if you want a different output structure from the AI.
    • Edit Fields (Set): Customize any data transformations as needed.
    • Schedule Trigger: If you want scheduled posts, configure the interval for the "Schedule Trigger" node.
  4. Activate the workflow: Once all credentials and configurations are set, activate the workflow.

This workflow provides a robust foundation for automating your pet grooming business's online presence and booking management, allowing you to focus more on your furry clients!

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
