What is it



This workflow aims to build a simple bot that will send a message to a telegram channel every time there is a new saved item to the Reader.

This workflow can be easily modify to support other way of sending the notification, thanks to existing n8n nodes.

Warning: This is only for folks who already have access to the Reader, it won't work if you don't

Also, this workflow use a file to store the last update time in order to not sync everything everytime.

Setup

It contains the telegram channel id
It also contains the file used as storage

To get the header auth, you have to :
Go to the reader
Open the devtools, Option + ⌘ + J (on macOS), or Shift + CTRL + J (on Windows/Linux)
Go to network and find a profile_details/ request, click on it
Go to Request Headers
Copy the value for "Cookie"
In n8n, set the name of the Header auth account to Cookie and the value with the one you copied before
