Summarize documents: Slack for captions
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Slack, Google Sheets and Telegram, summarises long text with an AI chain. Built for captions, around a "Read Recent from Google Drive" step, in 16 documented nodes.
Summarize documents with Google Drive and Telegram with instant alerts. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'AI Summarize & Route' pattern for content creation & media. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 16 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets, Telegram. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for captions, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 16 nodes in this captions build
- ✓The captions AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 16 nodes
- ✓Fans the same result out to Telegram in the same run, for captions
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 16 nodes for captions before wiring Slack
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for captions
- →Pushing captions events into Slack and Google Sheets the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Captions work where "Read Recent from Google Drive" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Captions work that only reaches Slack when a webhook arrives, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Using a Chain for fixed AI steps instead of paying for an Agent
- •Moving data between Telegram, Google Drive and Google Sheets in a single run
- •Adding retries and an explicit error path to external calls
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions

How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Slack, Google Sheets, Telegram, Google Drive). No coding is required.
