Telegram Expense Tracker to Google Sheets with GPT-4o Mini

This workflow enables users to track daily expenses effortlessly via a Telegram bot. Simply send a text message describing your purchase (e.g., 'Bought coffee for 50k at Highlands'), and the bot validates it, uses GPT-4o Mini to extract structured data like date, amount, currency, category, description, and source, then appends it to a Google Sheet. Non-text messages trigger a friendly reminder to use text only.

Key benefits include on-the-go expense capture without apps, AI-powered parsing for accuracy even with casual language, and instant Google Sheets integration for reporting and analysis. It's lightweight, reducing manual entry errors and saving time for individuals, freelancers, or small teams managing budgets.

Ideal use cases: personal finance tracking, freelance receipt logging, or business expense monitoring. Setup is straightforward—create a Telegram bot, connect credentials for Telegram, OpenAI, and Google Sheets—and it's ready to streamline your spending habits with smart automation.
