Automate Telegram nutrition tracking and meal logs in Google Sheets

This Latenode automation template creates a Telegram-based nutrition assistant that allows users to log their meals and track their nutrition. The system integrates with Google Sheets to store user profiles and meal logs, while utilizing the Gemini AI service for natural language processing and report generation.

Users can interact with the bot by sending text, voice, or image messages to log their meals, and the system will automatically calculate and store the nutritional information. The automation also provides personalized daily reports with progress tracking against the user's calorie and protein targets.

How it works

1
Trigger

Telegram Trigger

The automation starts by listening for incoming messages from Telegram users. When a user sends a text, voice, or image message to the Telegram bot, it triggers the workflow.

2
Logic

Input Message Router

The system determines the type of the incoming message (text, voice, or image) and routes it to the appropriate processing step.

3
Action

Download Voice Message

If the user sends a voice message, the system downloads the audio content from the Telegram message.

4
AI

Analyze Voice Message

The downloaded voice message is then processed using the Gemini AI service to extract the meal details from the user's input.

5
Action

Typing...

While the system is processing the user's message, it sends a 'typing' status to Telegram to provide a visual indication that the bot is working on the request.

6
Action

Registered?

The system checks if the user is already registered in the Google Sheets database. If the user is not registered, the system will create a new user profile.

7
Action

Register User

If the user is not registered, the system creates a new user profile in the Google Sheets database to store the user's information and meal logs.

8
Action

Get User Info

The system retrieves the user's profile data from the Google Sheets database, including their calorie and protein targets, to provide personalized daily reports and progress tracking.
