Import Research Papers from Telegram to Zotero with AI Abstract Summaries

Automatically Import Research Papers using DOI URL from Telegram to Zotero

This workflow allows you to automatically import research papers into your Zotero library by simply sending a DOI link through Telegram. It fetches metadata from reliable sources such as Crossref, DataCite, and Unpaywall, enriches the bibliographic details, attaches the best available full-text PDF when possible, and generates a concise summary of the abstract using an LLM before sending it back to Telegram.

✨ Key Features
Telegram Integration** – Send a DOI link via Telegram bot to trigger the workflow.
DOI Parsing** – Automatically detects and extracts DOI or arXiv identifiers from user messages.
Metadata Fetching* – Retrieves bibliographic information from Crossref, DataCite, and Unpaywall.
Smart PDF Finder – Locates the best available PDF (publisher link, open access, or arXiv).
Zotero Integration* – Creates a Zotero parent item with complete metadata and attaches the PDF link when available.
Abstract Summarization** – Uses a basic LLM chain to generate a short and clear summary of the abstract.
Telegram Feedback** – Sends the title, URL, and abstract summary back to the user in Telegram.

🔑 Required Credentials
Telegram API** – To connect the workflow with your Telegram bot.
Zotero API Key** – To create and update items in your Zotero library.
OpenRouter API Key** – To enable the LLM for generating abstract summaries.
(Optional) Email for Unpaywall API requests (recommended for stable access).
