1. Creating a Telegram Bot Using Pabbly Connect

To create a Text-to-Speech Telegram Bot, we first need to set up a bot in Telegram. This is crucial as Pabbly Connect will facilitate the integration between Telegram and the AI platform we will use for text-to-speech conversion.

Open your Telegram account and search for ‘BotFather’. Start a chat with BotFather and send the command ‘/newbot’ to create a new bot. You will then provide a name for your bot, such as ‘Text to Speech Bot’, and a unique username ending with ‘bot’. After this, you will receive an API token which is essential for connecting your bot to Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

Next, we will set up Pabbly Connect to automate the process of converting text to speech. After signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow appropriately, like ‘Telegram Text to Speech’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow interface.
• In the trigger section, select ‘Telegram Bot’ and choose the trigger event ‘Set Webhook’.
• Connect your Telegram bot using the API token you received from BotFather.

Once connected, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that your bot is properly linked with Pabbly Connect. This step is essential as it will allow Pabbly Connect to receive messages sent to your Telegram bot.

3. Configuring Eden AI for Text-to-Speech Conversion

Now that we have set up our Telegram bot within Pabbly Connect, the next step is to configure Eden AI to convert the text messages into speech. In the action step of your workflow, choose ‘Eden AI’ and select the action event ‘Convert Text to Speech’.

Connect your Eden AI account by entering your API key. Once connected, map the text response from the trigger step (the message sent to your Telegram bot) into the text field for conversion. Choose a suitable provider, such as ‘Eleven Labs’, and select the voice and language options as per your preference.

• Select the voice type (male or female).
• Choose ‘English’ as the language for the speech.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the speech conversion.

This step will generate an audio file URL that contains the converted speech, which you will send back to the user via Telegram.

4. Sending the Audio File Back to the User

With the audio file URL generated, the next step is to send this audio file back to the user who initiated the text message. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step and choose ‘Telegram Bot’ again, but this time select the action event ‘Send Audio File’. using Pabbly Connect

In this action step, you will need to map the chat ID from the trigger step to ensure the audio file is sent to the correct user. Additionally, input a caption for the audio message, such as ‘Here is your speech file’, and map the original text message for context.

Map the audio file URL received from Eden AI. Choose notification preferences as needed.

Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the audio file is successfully sent back to the user. Once this is done, you have completed the workflow!

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

After setting up the entire workflow using Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the automation. Go back to your Telegram bot and send a text message such as ‘Hello, I am testing the text-to-speech bot!’.

Within a few seconds, you should receive a reply from your bot containing the audio file of the speech generated from your text message. This confirms that the integration between Telegram and Eden AI through Pabbly Connect is working perfectly.

Now you can share this bot with others or even use it in your Telegram groups. The automation setup allows for seamless text-to-speech conversions, enhancing user interaction and engagement.
