Automatically Deliver NotebookLM Outputs Into Telegram

Overview

This guide shows you how to automatically share NotebookLM outputs—summaries, insights, analyses—into a Telegram chat or channel. Whenever you add new content to a designated Google Doc or Drive folder, your Telegram bot posts it.

What You Will Build

A workflow where:

  1. NotebookLM produces a summary.

  2. You paste or export it into a Google Doc or a Drive folder.

  3. An automation tool detects the new content.

  4. Your Telegram bot posts it into a Telegram group/channel.

This avoids manual copy–paste steps and keeps your team informed.

Prerequisites

  • Telegram bot token (via @BotFather)

  • Google Drive + Google Docs

  • NotebookLM

  • Make or Zapier (example uses Make)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Create your “summary output” location

You have two options:

Option A — One Google Doc

Create a doc named:
NotebookLM → Telegram Summaries

Option B — A Google Drive folder

Create a folder named:
NLM Summaries Folder
Each summary you paste or export into this folder triggers the workflow.

Step 2 — Tell NotebookLM where to output results

NotebookLM currently doesn’t auto-export, so you’ll copy/paste:

  • After generating a summary or answer

  • Paste it into the Doc or create a new Doc inside your “NLM Summaries” folder

This becomes your automation trigger.

Step 3 — Set up Make to detect new summaries

3.1 Start a scenario

  1. Open Make.com → Create Scenario.

3.2 Add a Google Drive module

Choose:

  • Watch Files in a Folder (for folder-based)
    OR

  • Watch Document Changes (for single Doc)

3.3 Add your Telegram Bot Posting module

  1. Add Telegram Bot → Send a Text Message or Reply.

  2. Connect your bot token.

  3. Choose:

    • A group

    • A channel

    • Or a personal chat

3.4 Format the outgoing message

Example:

📘 New NotebookLM Summary

Title: {{file_name}}

Preview:
{{snippet_of_doc_text}}

Full doc: {{doc_url}}

Step 4 — Turn on the scenario and test it

  1. Generate a summary in NotebookLM.

  2. Paste it into the doc or folder.

  3. The bot should immediately post the summary in Telegram.

Done!

Your Telegram community now receives NotebookLM summaries automatically—making NotebookLM a team-wide knowledge engine.
