Conscious Events Calendar Aljezur

Let’s bring all those great events together in one calendar!

What’s this all about?

Wouldn’t it be awesome to see all the cool events around Aljezur in one clean, simple calendar… instead of scrolling through 20 different Telegram groups every day?

This website is a little community experiment to make exactly that happen! We’re trying to automatically collect all those amazing events from different Telegram groups in and around Aljezur and bring them together in one single, easy-to-use calendar.

Here is the current version of the calendar. It get's updated every time our Telegram bot registeres a new event post in one of its groups.
Important: Always double-check the original Telegram post and group feed for updates or cancelations before attending the event. Calendar Information can be wrong or outdated!

More Information

Tap the sections below to see how it works, the current limitations, and how to connect your Telegram group.

How it works

We use a Telegram bot that you can invite to your group. The bot sends new posts from your group to our n8n-server, where we run some natural language processing magic.

With a bit of AI help, we automatically extract the key event details and create new events in a shared Google Calendar.

Pretty fancy, right? Welcome to 2025 😉

Known limitations (Alpha version!)

This is an early alpha test, so please expect some quirks and rough edges:

  • Do not rely on AI!
    We use artificial intelligence to extract event data from Telegram posts. Keep in mind: AI can make mistakes!
  • No duplicate detection yet.
    Sometimes the same event might show up more than once.
  • Image-only posts can’t be processed.
    If all the info is only on a flyer image, the bot can’t read it. Please make sure all important details (date, time, location, price) are included as text in your Telegram post.
  • Multiple events in one post aren’t fully supported yet.
    If a post contains several different events, only the first one will be added to the calendar.
  • No easy editing or deleting of events (yet).
    Once an event is in the calendar, it can’t be updated or removed through this system.
  • No recurring events (yet).
    As a workaround you can manually send an updated Telegram post for each week (adjust the date!) to ConsciousEventsAljezurBot to create a calendar entry.
  • Always double-check the source.
    Please always double-check the original Telegram post (see the link in the event description) and read the full conversation in the Telegram group for any updates or last-minute changes before you go.

Thanks for your patience while we explore what’s possible with this experiment 💛

For Telegram group admins: how to connect your group to the calendar
⚠️ Please only use this calendar for in-person events/groups/classes around Aljezur up to 35km drive
(NO Sao Luis, NO online etc. Lagos area or Monchique would be ok.).

1. Invite the bot

On Group Info page add @ConsciousEventsAljezurBot to your Telegram group.

2. Give the bot the right permissions

Bots need to be "group admins" to be able to read messages:

  • Go to Group Info
  • Long press the ConsciousEventsAljezurBot username
  • Make the bot a group admin
  • Allow the bot to read messages only. Disable all other permissions.

The bot does not moderate or manage your community. It just quietly listens for event posts and forwards the relevant info to our system.

3. Post a short announcement in your group

Here’s a short message you can post and pin for your members:

Aljezur Events Calendar Connection:
Event posts in this group are now automatically added to a shared community calendar:
https://aljezur-events.intaraction.com

To make it work, please include date, time, location and price as text, not only on an image. 🙏

4. Optional: Spread the word!

If you like this project, please send this website to all other Aljezur group admins you might know.
