Post new RSS articles to Telegram automatically

Watch any blog, news site or YouTube channel and post every new article to a Telegram chat or channel — a free, no-code RSS to Telegram bot.

Want every new post of a blog, a news site or a YouTube channel in your Telegram chat or channel — without checking it yourself? This workflow watches an RSS feed and sends each new article as a Telegram message.

What you need

• A free W flow account.
• The feed address (RSS or Atom). Most blogs have one at /feed or /rss; YouTube channels at https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=….
• A Telegram bot: open Telegram, write to @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the steps. You get a bot token.
• The chat ID: for a channel, add the bot as admin and use @yourchannel; for a private chat, write to your bot once and look up the ID with a bot like @userinfobot.

Step 1 — The trigger: RSS Feed — New Item

1. Create a new workflow and add the trigger RSS Feed — New Item.
2. Paste the feed URL and choose how often to check (poll interval in minutes, e.g. 15).

The server checks the feed on its own — you do not need to keep the editor open. The first check after saving only remembers what is already there, so old articles are never posted; from then on every new article triggers the workflow.

Step 2 — One message per article: Split Out

A single check can find several new articles at once. They arrive as a list called items. Add a Split Out node after the trigger and set Field to items — now every article travels on as its own item with title, link and description.

Step 3 — Send it: Telegram Bot

1. Add a Telegram Bot node after Split Out.
2. Paste the bot token and the chat ID.
3. Write the message text, for example:
   📰 {{title}}
{{link}}

Step 4 — Test and save

Press Run: the trigger fires with a sample article, so you can check the message format right away. Then save the workflow — from now on it runs by itself. Every automatic run appears under Executions with its full log.

Variations

• Add a Filter node to only forward articles whose title contains a keyword.
• Let an AI node summarise each article in one sentence before posting.
• Send to Slack, Discord or e-mail instead — just swap the last node.
