Workflow Overview
This workflow automates the process of forwarding e-book files to a Kindle device using a Telegram bot and Outlook email.
Setup Steps:
-
Telegram Bot Setup:
Create a Telegram bot via BotFather and configure its credentials in the workflow. -
Outlook Email Configuration:
Set up your Outlook email credentials. (Currently, only Outlook is supported, but you can modify the workflow to support other email providers.) -
Amazon Kindle Email Setup:
Find your Kindle device's email address from your Amazon account. This will be the recipient address for the e-books. -
Allow Email Sending to Kindle:
Ensure your Amazon account is configured to allow emails from your Outlook address to send files to your Kindle.
Workflow Explanation:
-
The workflow begins with a Telegram bot trigger node that listens for new chat messages.
-
When a new message is received, the workflow checks if the message contains a file attachment.
- If no file is detected, the bot will send a warning reply to the user in the chat.
-
If a file is found, it will be renamed to ensure it appears correctly on the Kindle device when sent.
-
The workflow then composes an email with the file attached and sends it to the Kindle's receiving address.
- If the email is sent successfully, the bot will notify the user with a success message in the chat.
-
Only Amazon-supported file types will be accepted by Kindle.
- If sending fails, you will receive a notification email from Amazon in your Outlook inbox.
- In case of delivery issues, retry sending the file as network issues may occasionally interfere with the process.
