CoinGecko Funding Rate Alerts to Telegram (n8n Workflow)

Get CoinGecko Funding Rate Alerts to Telegram (Hourly, Perpetuals, Extreme Moves)

This n8n workflow pulls perpetual futures funding rates from CoinGecko every hour, spots liquid markets with extreme funding rates, and sends a single, clean HTML alert to your Telegram chat—with optional suppression of repeated coins.

What this workflow does

• Runs hourly using a Schedule Trigger.
• Fetches the derivatives list from CoinGecko via the /derivatives API.
• Filters for liquid perpetual contracts, removing venues/contracts that appear to report funding rates in abnormal units.
• Optionally applies an exchange allow-list so you only monitor selected venues.
• Keeps only contracts where the absolute funding rate exceeds your configured threshold.
• Groups results by coin to compute a funding-rate range across venues and identify the most liquid venue.
• Optionally avoids repeated alerts by suppressing coins already alerted in previous runs.
• Truncates to fit Telegram message length and your configured top-N limit.
• Sends one HTML-formatted Telegram message containing the selected coins and key venue details.

Use cases

• Monitor crypto funding rate anomalies across exchanges and receive instant Telegram notifications.
• Help trading/SaaS operations quickly surface extreme perpetuals for review or risk checks.
• Set alerting rules (threshold, min 24h volume, exchange filter) to match your strategy and avoid noise.
