Telegram Voice Note to Task Automation with Make
Convert Telegram voice notes into structured tasks using Whisper and Make.com
This workflow automates personal task capture by turning spontaneous audio messages into structured to-do items. It connects a Telegram bot to OpenAI Whisper for speech-to-text, uses an LLM to extract action items, and automatically logs the results to Airtable and Slack. It eliminates manual note-taking and keeps task boards organized on the go.
How it works
Automation Architecture in Make.com:
- Telegram Bot: Listens for incoming audio messages and downloads the voice file.
- OpenAI (Whisper): Transcribes the audio recording into text.
- Router:
- Branch A: Sends an instant notification or log to a designated Slack channel (#testingautomations).
- Branch B: Passes the transcription to an LLM (OpenAI / Anthropic Claude) to parse out action items, tasks, and tags, then creates structured record cards in Airtable (e.g., categorized into 'Incoming' and 'For Later').
What it's for
- Capture spontaneous thoughts and turn them into actionable tasks without typing
- Transcribe audio memos automatically using OpenAI Whisper
- Route organized to-do items directly into an Airtable project board
- Send quick team alerts or activity logs of new tasks to a Slack channel
