n8n: Create ClickUp Action Items from Slack Transcripts (GPT-4o-mini)

Turn Slack/Telegram meeting transcripts into ClickUp action items (with GPT-4o-mini) — automatically

This n8n workflow ingests meeting transcript text from Telegram messages or new .txt files in Google Drive, uses OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) to extract a summary and action items, then creates corresponding tasks in ClickUp—and posts a formatted recap to Slack (with optional confirmation back to Telegram).

What this workflow does

• Triggers when a Telegram bot receives a message or when a new text file is added to a watched Google Drive folder.
• Validates and retrieves transcript text: checks the Telegram message contains enough transcript text, or downloads and reads the .txt content from Google Drive.
• Normalizes the input into a consistent structure (meeting title, transcript text, source, and Telegram chat ID when available).
• Uses OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) to return JSON including a short meeting summary and a list of action items (with owner, deadline, and priority).
• Creates ClickUp tasks for each action item, mapping due date and priority to the ClickUp task fields.
• Posts a recap to Slack: includes the meeting summary and a numbered list of created tasks; optionally sends the same text back to the originating Telegram chat when available.

Use cases

• After a team meeting in Telegram, automatically generate ClickUp tasks from the transcript and share outcomes in Slack.
• When transcripts land as .txt files in Google Drive, extract action items with GPT-4o-mini and keep ClickUp up to date.
• SaaS operators who need consistent task capture without manual copy/paste between meetings, Slack, and ClickUp.
