Build a Telegram Mental Health Support Bot with GPT-4o

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

n8n Workflow Template: AI‑Powered Mental Health Support Bot

Overview: This template enables you to build a Telegram bot that delivers real‑time, empathetic mental health support. Incoming messages tagged with #vent, #insight, or #cope are routed to GPT‑4o via the AI/ML API, which returns tailored, compassionate responses.

How it works:

Telegram Trigger listens for new chat messages or voice notes. Show Typing Indicator immediately signals “typing…” in the chat. Switch Node examines the text prefix and routes to one of four branches (Vent, Insight, Cope, or default). Set Prompt nodes build a JSON payload with a specific role‑play prompt for each branch. AI/ML API node (model gpt-4o) generates the response. Telegram node sends the AI’s answer back to the user.

Setup Steps:

Connect your Telegram bot token in the Telegram credentials. Add your AI/ML API key (GPT‑4o) in n8n’s credential settings. Activate the workflow and deploy your n8n instance webhook URL to BotFather. Test by sending #vent I’m stressed, #insight Why do I feel…, or any tag in your Telegram chat.

This plug‑and‑play workflow brings AI‑driven emotional support directly into Telegram.
