  1. 1

    Add the Gmail Trigger node

    Start with a Gmail Trigger node — connect your Google account and optionally set a Label or search filter so it only fires for the emails you care about. This fires the workflow the moment a new email arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: from to {{ $json.from.value[0].address }}, subject to {{ $json.subject }}, and snippet to {{ $json.snippet }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Telegram

    Add a Telegram node set to operation Send Message. Connect your bot token (from @BotFather), set Chat ID to your channel or personal chat, and build the Text from the Set-node fields.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test email in Gmail, then confirm it appears in Telegram. Once it works, you're done — every new email now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Gmail and Telegram accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I send each email to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same email lands in Telegram and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
