Send daily TMDB movie recommendations to a Telegram channel with OpenAI

Description

Quick overview
This workflow finds a high-rated movie from TMDB, selects one at random, uses OpenAI to generate a short recommendation, and automatically posts the movie poster with the generated caption to a Telegram channel.

How it works
Runs on a schedule at specified times during the day.
Calls the TMDB Discover API with predefined filters (rating, release date, votes, language, genre exclusions) and a randomized page to fetch a list of candidate movies.
Splits the TMDB results into individual items and randomly selects one movie.
Sends the selected movie’s details to OpenAI to generate a concise English Telegram recommendation caption.
Builds a Telegram post payload by combining the generated caption with the movie’s TMDB poster image URL.
Sends the poster image and caption to the configured Telegram channel.

Setup
Add your TMDB API key in the TMDB Discover request and adjust the query filters if needed.
Connect an OpenAI credential for the OpenAI node and confirm the selected model is available in your account.
