Arabic Daily News Audio Briefing (Gemini + ElevenLabs + Telegram)

Get an Arabic daily news briefing—text and audio—automatically delivered to Telegram

This n8n workflow automatically pulls Arabic news headlines every morning, uses Google Gemini to rank and rewrite the top stories into a short Modern Standard Arabic briefing, generates Arabic audio with ElevenLabs, and sends everything to your Telegram chat. Delivery details are logged to Google Sheets for visibility and auditing.

What this workflow does

• Runs daily at 07:00 using an n8n schedule trigger.
• Reads up to 20 items from a configured Arabic RSS news feed.
• Sends feed items to Google Gemini to:
  • Select the five most important stories
  • Rewrite them into a short Modern Standard Arabic briefing
  • Return a JSON briefing structure
• Parses Gemini’s JSON response and formats a Markdown Telegram message (including fields such as date, top headline, and top summary).
• Sends the text briefing to the target Telegram chat.
• Converts the briefing text to Arabic speech using the ElevenLabs Text-to-Speech API, then sends the audio file to the same Telegram chat.
• Appends a delivery log row to Google Sheets (date, top headline, top summary, audio sent status, overall status).

Use cases
