Generate and approve Twitter news tweets with Groq, Google Sheets and Telegram

Generate and approve Twitter content from Google News using AI and Telegram

This n8n template automates the creation and approval of Twitter (X) content using real-time news data, AI-generated text, and a human approval workflow.

It is designed to streamline content production while maintaining quality control through manual review.

Good to know

Generates 5 tweet variations per execution in different styles
Uses structured JSON output to ensure reliable parsing
Prevents duplicate content by tracking previously used articles
Requires an active workflow for Telegram approval callbacks
Google Sheets acts as the central data store

How it works

A scheduled trigger initiates the workflow at a defined time.

The workflow retrieves trending news from Google News RSS and extracts relevant details such as title, description, and publication date.

Previously used articles are fetched from Google Sheets and filtered out to ensure fresh content selection.

The selected article is passed to an AI model (Groq), which generates five tweet variations across different styles including informational, opinion-based, and engagement-focused formats.

The AI response is cleaned and converted into structured JSON. Each tweet is enriched with metadata such as scheduled time, status, and a unique identifier.

Tweets are sent to Telegram with inline approval buttons.

User actions are captured through Telegram callbacks, and the workflow updates the corresponding status (Approved or Rejected) in Google Sheets.

Finally, the processed article is logged to prevent reuse.

How to use

The workflow runs on a schedule by default, but this can be replaced with a manual trigger or webhook depending on your requirements.

Each execution generates multiple tweets and sends them for review. You can approve or reject each tweet directly within Telegram.
