Catch campaign requests coming through Telegram
Bring available Telegram bot updates into view when you need to review campaign questions or requests from a chat.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Updates
Use this method to receive incoming updates using long polling. an array of update objects is returned.
Why this helps
Campaign questions can be overlooked when the team has to switch between a busy Telegram chat and ActiveTrail.
- Review available bot updates on demand.
- Surface requests that need campaign follow-up.
- Reduce context switching when checking for incoming updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for campaign request review.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: retrieve available Telegram updates and summarize those relevant to the supplied campaign topic.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and relevant Telegram updates.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run continuously?
No. The webhook starts the automation on request. A Telegram updates call retrieves the updates available through that action.
Will it capture every message in a group?
Do not assume that. The action returns incoming updates through Telegram's getUpdates method, subject to what Telegram makes available to the bot.
