Recently, I built an end-to-end automation workflow using n8n to solve a simple but very practical problem.
The idea was straightforward: Receive an order via Telegram β extract item name and quantity β update the data in Google Sheets automatically, without creating duplicate rows.
What I focused on wasnβt just connecting tools, but building solid logic:
Smart text parsing (quantity works regardless of word order)
Updating existing records instead of blindly appending
Preventing duplicates
Sending instant feedback back to the user on Telegram
The result is a clean, reliable workflow that can be used for inventory tracking, order management, or simple internal tools.
This project reminded me that good automation isnβt about complexity β Next steps: reports, validation, and multi-item support.
