Overview

Save useful ideas from public Instagram Reels to a Notion Inbox. Send a Reel link to your Telegram bot; the workflow extracts its spoken transcript and available caption, prepares a structured knowledge entry and replies with the saved page link.

How it works

Telegram supplies the first supported Instagram URL in the message. After validation, an Apify Actor retrieves text and metadata. OpenAI extracts a summary, tools, links and practical takeaways, filtering promotional prompts. Notion stores the entry with its source, category, date and review status.

The workflow uses text from the transcript and caption, without analyzing video frames or on-screen text. It does not verify external links. Repeating a Reel creates another entry and new API usage.

Before you begin

You need n8n with an HTTPS Telegram webhook, a private Telegram bot, Apify and OpenAI API access, and a Notion integration with access to your Inbox database. Restrict the bot to your Telegram user ID before enabling paid requests. Apify and OpenAI usage is billed separately.

Choose the output language

Both options accept multilingual Reel transcripts and captions:

Activate only one workflow per Telegram bot token. The extraction guide explains further language customization.
