Telegram Notifications for New Readwise Reader Saves

This n8n workflow monitors your Readwise Reader for newly saved items and instantly notifies a specified Telegram channel. It starts with a manual trigger (easily adaptable to cron or webhook), reads the last sync timestamp from a local file, fetches the current Reader state via authenticated HTTP request to the Readwise API, identifies new saves since the last check, formats and sends notifications via Telegram, and updates the timestamp file to prevent duplicates on future runs.

Setup requires Readwise Reader access: copy your Cookie header from browser dev tools for authentication in n8n's header auth. Configure the global Config node with your Telegram channel ID and file path for state storage. This ensures secure, lightweight operation without full API syncs.

Benefits include real-time team awareness of saved content for shared reading lists, research, or lead curation—ideal for sales teams scoring leads from articles. Customizable for other messengers via n8n nodes, it saves hours of manual checking and scales for multiple users.

Use cases: Content curation in marketing/sales (e.g., flag lead-gen articles), personal knowledge management alerts, or team reading syncs. High reliability with error handling on file reads.
