# n8n Project Management System for Construction

Build a universal task management and reporting system for construction projects using n8n automation, Telegram bot, and Google Sheets.

## Business Case

**Problem**: Construction managers spend 2-3 hours daily on:
- Distributing tasks to foremen and workers
- Collecting progress updates via calls/messages
- Compiling photo documentation
- Tracking task completion status

**Solution**: Automated system that:
- Sends task reminders via Telegram at scheduled times
- Collects status reports (text + photos + GPS)
- Auto-saves all data to Google Sheets
- Provides real-time visibility to managers

**ROI**: 70% reduction in administrative time for task management

## Implementation Guide

### Step 1: Create Telegram Bot

```python
# 1. Open @BotFather in Telegram
# 2. Send /newbot
# 3. Name: "YourProject Tasks Bot"
# 4. Username: "YourProjectTasks_bot"
# 5. Save the token: 123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz

# Test bot connection
import requests

BOT_TOKEN = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
response = requests.get(f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{BOT_TOKEN}/getMe")
print(response.json())
# Expected: {"ok": true, "result": {"id": ..., "first_name": "YourProject Tasks Bot"}}
```

### Step 2: Setup Google Sheets

Create spreadsheet with these sheets:

**Sheet 1: Tasks**
| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| Task_ID | Text | Unique identifier (TASK-001) |
| Project | Text | Project name |
| Object | Text | Building/area |
| Section | Text | Floor/zone |
| Task | Text | Task description |
| Executor | Text | Assigned worker name |
| Executor_ID | Number | Telegram user ID |
| Date | Date | Due date (DD.MM.YYYY) |
| Send_Time | Time | Reminder time |
| Prior
