Daily Market Close to Telegram
Get a concise end-of-day US market summary delivered to Telegram every weekday — closing prices, market movers, key drivers, and tomorrow's catalysts.
What It Does
Every weekday, 30 minutes after the US market closes, this workflow searches for official closing prices and sends a concise market wrap to your Telegram. Four major indices, three reasons the market moved, the day's standout stock, and two catalysts to watch for tomorrow — all in under 200 words. Read it over dinner, not at your desk.
How It Works
| Step | Node | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scheduled Trigger | Fires weekdays at 21:30 UTC (approx. 4:30 PM ET, 30 min after close) via cron: 30 21 * * 1-5 |
| 2 | AI Agent | Searches the web for official closing prices for S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and Russell 2000. Identifies the top market-moving factors, surfaces the biggest individual stock mover, and finds tomorrow's top 2 catalysts from the economic calendar and earnings schedule. |
| 3 | Telegram Node | Delivers the formatted close summary directly to your Telegram chat. |
What You Get
- Closing prices for all four major US indices with percentage change
- Top 3 factors that drove today's market action — not just headlines, but actual drivers
- The day's biggest individual stock mover with ticker and percentage change
- Two specific events to watch for tomorrow
Why It Matters
You check your portfolio at 5 PM and see it's down 1.2%. You don't know if that's market-wide or portfolio-specific. You check Twitter and get noise. You open a financial news site and get a 3,000-word article. This workflow gives you the close in 60 seconds: the four numbers that matter, why they moved, and what to watch tomorrow. That's all you need to make a good decision tonight.
