Telegram Appointment Scheduler Bot with Google Calendar & Sheets

This n8n workflow creates a Telegram bot that allows users to schedule appointments, which are then recorded in Google Sheets and added to Google Calendar. It provides a simple, interactive way for users to book slots and for the administrator to manage them.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

  1. Listens for Telegram Messages: The workflow is triggered by incoming messages to a configured Telegram bot.
  2. Routes Commands: It uses a Switch node to identify specific commands sent by the user (e.g., to schedule, view, or cancel appointments).
  3. Processes Scheduling Requests: When a scheduling command is detected, the workflow interacts with Google Calendar to check availability and Google Sheets to log the appointment details.
  4. Manages Google Calendar Events: It creates, updates, or deletes events in Google Calendar based on user requests.
  5. Updates Google Sheets: Appointment details, including user information, date, time, and status, are recorded or updated in a Google Sheet.
  6. Responds via Telegram: The bot sends confirmation messages, availability updates, or error notifications back to the user through Telegram.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • Telegram Bot Token: A Telegram bot created via BotFather. You'll need its API token.
  • Google Account: A Google account with access to:
    • Google Calendar: To manage and create calendar events.
    • Google Sheets: To store appointment data.
  • n8n Credentials: Configured credentials for:
    • Telegram API
    • Google Sheets API (OAuth 2.0)
    • Google Calendar API (OAuth 2.0)

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow:
    • Download the workflow JSON provided.
    • In your n8n instance, click "New" in the workflows list, then "Import from JSON" and paste the workflow JSON.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Locate the "Telegram Trigger", "Telegram", "Google Sheets", and "Google Calendar" nodes.
    • For each, select or create the necessary credentials.
      • For Telegram, provide your bot's API token.
      • For Google Sheets and Google Calendar, set up Google OAuth 2.0 credentials with access to Google Sheets and Google Calendar scopes.
  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 the Bot:
    • Start a chat with your Telegram bot.
    • Send the predefined commands (as configured in the Switch node and subsequent logic) to schedule appointments.

Note: The provided JSON is a partial definition and lacks specific configuration details within the nodes (like spreadsheet IDs, calendar IDs, and the actual logic for handling commands). You will need to fill in these details within the respective nodes (e.g., "Google Sheets", "Google Calendar", "If", "Switch", and "Code" nodes) based on your specific requirements and the structure of your Google Sheet and Calendar. The "Code" node would contain the custom logic for parsing messages, checking availability, and formatting responses.

Auto-reply & create Linear tickets from Gmail with GPT-5, gotoHuman & human review

This workflow automatically classifies every new email from your linked mailbox, drafts a personalized reply, and creates Linear tickets for bugs or feature requests. It uses a human-in-the-loop with gotoHuman and continuously improves itself by learning from approved examples. How it works The workflow triggers on every new email from your linked mailbox. Self-learning Email Classifier: an AI model categorizes the email into defined categories (e.g., Bug Report, Feature Request, Sales Opportunity, etc.). It fetches previously approved classification examples from gotoHuman to refine decisions. Self-learning Email Writer: the AI drafts a reply to the email. It learns over time by using previously approved replies from gotoHuman, with per-classification context to tailor tone and style (e.g., different style for sales vs. bug reports). Human Review in gotoHuman: review the classification and the drafted reply. Drafts can be edited or retried. Approved values are used to train the self-learning agents. Send approved Reply: the approved response is sent as a reply to the email thread. Create ticket: if the classification is Bug or Feature Request, a ticket is created by another AI agent in Linear. Human Review in gotoHuman: How to set up Most importantly, install the gotoHuman node before importing this template! (Just add the node to a blank canvas before importing) Set up credentials for gotoHuman, OpenAI, your email provider (e.g. Gmail), and Linear. In gotoHuman, select and create the pre-built review template "Support email agent" or import the ID: 6fzuCJlFYJtlu9mGYcVT. Select this template in the gotoHuman node. In the "gotoHuman: Fetch approved examples" http nodes you need to add your formId. It is the ID of the review template that you just created/imported in gotoHuman. Requirements gotoHuman (human supervision, memory for self-learning) OpenAI (classification, drafting) Gmail or your preferred email provider (for email trigger+replies) Linear (ticketing) How to customize Expand or refine the categories used by the classifier. Update the prompt to reflect your own taxonomy. Filter fetched training data from gotoHuman by reviewer so the writer adapts to their personalized tone and preferences. Add more context to the AI email writer (calendar events, FAQs, product docs) to improve reply quality.
