Flow Preview
Overview
Turn everyday group chatter into a searchable spreadsheet. Every message gets read by AI, tagged with category, sentiment, priority and a one-line summary, and appended as a new row in your Google Sheet — so your team can review feedback, support issues and leads without watching the chat all day.
Setup Requirements
- Add your Telegram bot to the group you want to monitor.
- Decide what gets logged: it ships set to watch every message. To log only messages addressed to the bot, switch the trigger's visibility to "addressed" in the flow editor.
- If you're logging every message (the default), open BotFather and disable Privacy Mode for the bot — otherwise most messages never reach it.
- Connect Google Sheets, pick the spreadsheet and tab, and map the columns you want — for example received date, chat title, sender, message text, and the AI analysis.
- Before turning it loose on a busy group, review the AI prompt and adjust the categories to match how your team actually wants messages sorted.
Node Breakdown
- Someone posts a message in your Telegram group or supergroup
- The bot quietly reads it in the background — it never posts a reply, so the conversation carries on exactly as normal
- AI reads the message and works out its category, sentiment, priority, a short summary, and a suggested next action
- A new row lands in your connected Google Sheet with the raw message and the AI's analysis, ready for your team to scan
Details
Good to know
- It ships watching every message in the group by default. To actually receive every message (not just ones that @mention the bot), disable Privacy Mode for your bot in BotFather — otherwise Telegram only forwards messages that mention it, so most of the chat stays invisible to the log.
- Prefer to only log messages people direct at the bot? Switch the trigger's visibility to "addressed" in the flow editor instead.
- You connect your own Google Sheet during setup and choose the spreadsheet, tab and columns to write to — nothing is hardcoded.
- The bot never posts in the group itself. It only writes to your spreadsheet, so it adds zero noise to a conversation people are already having.
- The AI categories and prompt are editable in the visual editor — tune them to match what your team actually needs to see (product feedback, support issues, sales leads, moderation risks, or your own custom labels).
Common questions
- Should the bot log only messages addressed to it, or every message in the group?
- What should it be watching for: product feedback, support issues, sales leads, moderation risks, or something else?
- Which columns does your team actually want to see in the spreadsheet?
Keep in mind
- Don't expect every message to be logged unless Privacy Mode is off in BotFather — with it on, the bot only sees messages that mention it, no matter what the trigger is set to.
- The bot is designed to stay silent in the group on purpose — if you want visible acknowledgements in the chat, that's a deliberate change to make, not the default behavior.
