Vocabulary drip in Telegram every few hours
Every 3 hours n8n fetches 3 random English words, Gemini writes the meaning (Vietnamese by default) and an example sentence, and the bot posts them to your Telegram chat or group.
Tool names link to each official site (opens in a new tab). Links marked “aff” are affiliate links. Disclosure
