Send Daily RSS Feed Digests Straight to Your Telegram Channel

Automatically fetch new articles from any RSS feed and deliver a clean digest message to your Telegram channel or group. Perfect for creators who want to stay on top of industry news without leaving their chat app.

difficulty Beginnersetup 20 minresult Every time a new article appears in your chosen RSS feed, a formatted message with the title, description, and link is posted to your Telegram channel automatically.
  1. 1

    Trigger on new RSS items

    Add an RSS Feed Read node as your trigger. Set the Feed URL field to your chosen RSS feed (e.g. https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index). Set the Poll Times to check every hour or at your preferred interval. This node fires whenever a new article appears in the feed.

  2. 2

    Format the digest message

    Add a Set node connected to the RSS trigger. Create a new string field called message. Set its value to a readable format combining the article title, description, and link — for example: {{ $json.title }} {{ $json.contentSnippet }} {{ $json.link }}. This prepares a clean text block for Telegram.

  3. 3

    Send to Telegram

    Add a Telegram node connected to the Set node. In the credentials section, paste your Bot Token from @BotFather. Set Operation to Send Message, set Chat ID to your channel username (e.g. @mychannel) or numeric group ID, and set Text to {{ $json.message }}. Enable Parse Mode as Markdown if you want bold titles.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Telegram Bot Token?

Open Telegram and search for @BotFather. Send the command /newbot, follow the prompts to name your bot, and BotFather will give you a token string. Copy that token into the Telegram node credentials in n8n.

How do I find my Telegram channel Chat ID?

For public channels, you can use the channel username prefixed with @ (e.g. @mychannel). For private channels or groups, forward a message from that chat to @userinfobot and it will reply with the numeric Chat ID. Use that number in the `Chat ID` field.

Can I monitor multiple RSS feeds at once?

Yes — duplicate the entire workflow for each feed, or add multiple RSS Feed Read nodes each pointing to a different URL, all feeding into the same Set and Telegram nodes. n8n will process each source independently and send separate messages for each new article.
