Workflow Name

Multilingual Telegram User Interaction and Management Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow enables multilingual user interaction triggered by Telegram messages. It automatically detects the user's language, dynamically loads the corresponding language message dictionary, and sends appropriate multilingual responses based on user commands (e.g., /start, /help). Additionally, the workflow supports automatic detection of new users and stores their information in a database, while also updating existing users’ language preferences to ensure real-time synchronization of user data and personalized service.

Core Problems Addressed

  • Automatic recognition and adaptation to the user’s language environment to enhance user experience.
  • Differentiation between new and returning users to enable dynamic user data management and updates.
  • Command-triggered clear help information and error prompts to reduce user confusion.
  • Resolves node compatibility issues caused by changes in third-party database APIs by replacing certain nodes with HTTP requests, improving stability.

Application Scenarios

  • Multilingual customer service bots: Provide customized automatic replies and support for users in different languages.
  • User management systems: Automatically register and update user information to facilitate subsequent marketing and services.
  • Automated operation tools for Telegram channels: Achieve efficient user interaction through command control and message feedback.
  • Any Telegram bot application requiring personalized message delivery based on language recognition.

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Receive user messages via the “Telegram Trigger” node.
  2. Extract user chat ID and language code through the “chatID” node; supports Russian and English by default, with English as fallback for unsupported languages.
  3. Load the message dictionary from the “NocoDB” database to dynamically match multilingual message content.
  4. Check user registration status using the “CheckUser” node to distinguish new and existing users.
  5. For new users, add their information to the database via HTTP requests; for existing users, update their language preferences.
  6. Use the “Switch” node to determine the type of user command (e.g., /start, /help) and trigger corresponding response nodes.
  7. Send appropriate welcome, welcome-back, help, or error messages supporting multiple languages based on the command.
  8. Employ “Merge” and “IF” nodes for flow control and data merging to ensure smooth logic execution.

Involved Systems or Services

  • Telegram API (listening to messages via Telegram Trigger node and sending messages via Telegram node)
  • NocoDB (serving as the database for user data and multilingual message dictionaries, integrated with HTTP request nodes for CRUD operations)
  • HTTP Requests (replacing some NocoDB nodes to ensure compatibility and stability in data operations)
  • n8n Automation Platform (used for workflow orchestration and node management)

Target Users and Value Proposition

  • Telegram Bot Developers: Quickly build multilingual interactive bots to enhance user experience.
  • Customer Service and Operations Personnel: Automate user information management, reducing manual maintenance costs.
  • Multilingual Community Managers: Easily implement multilingual message delivery to expand user reach.
  • Product Managers and Technical Teams: Achieve complex multilingual and user management functions through simple configuration, accelerating product iteration.

By flexibly combining nodes with database and HTTP interfaces, this workflow delivers a stable, efficient, and multilingual Telegram user interaction system, significantly enhancing the intelligence and user-friendliness of bot services.
