Personal automation
n8n Workflows
Daily reading and everyday expenses, connected through n8n. Three workflows that bring useful information and simple confirmations into my Telegram.
OVERVIEW
I use n8n to connect tools around small, repeatable tasks. Two news briefs deliver articles to my Telegram each day, while an expense tracker turns a message to my bot into a row in Google Sheets.
The common thread is a familiar interface: I receive my reading and record expenses in Telegram, with n8n connecting the steps behind the scenes.
- Cyprus Brief — five articles daily.
- AI and Automation Brief — five articles daily.
- expense-tracker — message, log, confirmation.
01 / CYPRUS BRIEF
A daily window into Cyprus
Cyprus Brief sends me five articles each day on Telegram. It gives my Cyprus reading a regular place in the day, delivered to an app I already use.

02 / AI AND AUTOMATION BRIEF
Keeping up with AI and automation
My AI and Automation Brief sends five articles daily to my Telegram. It brings a second area of interest into the same reading routine.

03 / EXPENSE-TRACKER
From a quick message to a recorded expense
I text an expense to my Telegram bot. The message goes to n8n, which logs the expense in a Google Sheet and sends me a confirmation on Telegram.
- 01 / CaptureText the botI send an expense through Telegram.
- 02 / ConnectPass it to n8nThe workflow receives the expense message.
- 03 / RecordLog to Google Sheetsn8n adds the expense to my sheet.
- 04 / ConfirmReply in TelegramI receive confirmation after the expense is logged.
ONE INTERFACE, THREE ROUTINES
These workflows connect daily information delivery and expense capture through Telegram. The briefs bring reading to me; the expense tracker lets me send a quick message and receive confirmation that it has been recorded.
