Telegram Mental Health Support Bot with GPT-4o

This n8n workflow template builds a Telegram bot that provides real-time, compassionate mental health support. It listens for incoming messages or voice notes tagged with specific hashtags like #vent, #insight, or #cope, routes them through tailored prompts to GPT-4o, and sends back personalized responses. A typing indicator keeps users engaged during processing.

The workflow features a Telegram Trigger, typing indicator, Switch node for routing based on message prefixes, Set Prompt nodes for role-play instructions per category, GPT-4o via AI/ML API for response generation, and a final Telegram node to reply. This structure ensures efficient, context-aware handling of emotional support requests.

Benefits include instant accessibility to AI-driven empathy, scalability for high-volume chats, and customization for various support needs. Ideal use cases: personal wellness apps, community support groups, crisis hotlines, or corporate employee assistance programs. Setup requires self-hosted n8n with community nodes, Telegram bot token, and OpenAI API key.
