Dr. Firas This workflow corresponds to n8n.io template #16968 — we link there as the canonical source.
This workflow follows the Chainllm → Google Sheets recipe pattern — see all workflows that pair these two integrations.

New templates and their AI tips are logged to Google Sheets and posted to Telegram.\n\n## How it works\n1. Runs on a schedule every day at 9 AM.\n2. The Configuration node holds every adjustable value (category, number of templates, language, chat ID).\n3. Calls the n8n Templates search API for the latest templates in the configured category.\n4. Extracts metadata (id, name, description, author, date, url, nodes).\n5. Compares IDs against previously seen IDs stored in workflow static data and updates the cache.\n6. For each new template, an AI model returns a bullet list of business focused improvements.\n7. Each new template plus its AI tips is appended to Google Sheets and posted to Telegram as a digest.\n8. If nothing is new and reporting is enabled, an optional all-clear message is sent to Telegram.\n\n## Setup\n1. Open Configuration and set template_category, templates_to_check, output_language and telegram_chat_id.\n2. On the Telegram nodes, select your Telegram credential and confirm the bot.\n3. On the OpenAI chat model node, select your OpenAI credential.\n4. On the Append row to Google Sheets node, pick your spreadsheet and sheet tab. Headers must match the row fields.\n5. Activate the workflow. The first run treats all fetched templates as new.\n\n## Requirements\n- n8n Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request, Code, Split Out, Set and IF nodes (all core).\n- A Telegram bot credential and your chat ID.\n- An OpenAI credential for the AI analysis.\n- A Google Sheets credential and a spreadsheet with the expected header row.\n\n## Customization\n- Change template_category to any n8n category name (AI, Marketing, Sales, DevOps, etc.).\n- Adjust templates_to_check to scan more or fewer templates per run.\n- Switch output_language (for example English or French) for the AI improvement tips.\n- Edit the schedule to run more or less often, or enable report_even_if_none for daily all-clear pings.\n\nNeed help customizing?\nContact me for consulting and support : [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctor-firass/)\n\n# MY NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL\n\ud83d\udc49 [Subscribe to my new YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DrFiras_AI).
