Daily Affirmation to Telegram

Send one daily affirmation to a Telegram chat.

Setup

Connect your Telegram bot and enter the destination chat ID in Send the Telegram message. Confirm that the bot can send messages to that chat. The schedule is set to 09:00 UTC; change the timezone if you want a different local delivery time. The workflow also needs access to affirmations.dev.

In n8n, select Telegram credentials, set the chat ID, and activate the workflow. The workflow timezone starts at UTC; n8n chooses a second within the 09:00 minute.

Behavior

Once each day, the workflow requests one affirmation and sends it with a short introduction. If the response has no non-empty affirmation string or the request fails, no Telegram message is sent. Messages use Telegram legacy Markdown, so formatting characters in an affirmation can affect rendering or cause a send error. A Telegram send failure stops the run; an uncertain send may already have arrived, so check the chat before retrying.

Changes to the source

Set the schedule timezone to UTC explicitly.
Check that the service returned a non-empty affirmation before sending.
