Why this helps
A bot's useful commands can be hard to remember when its command list is missing or out of date.
- Make supported bot commands easier to discover.
- Use a supplied command list to keep shortcuts relevant.
- Reduce repeated explanation of how to start common tasks.

- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for bot command updates.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: set the bot's commands to the supplied list of command names and descriptions.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with the actual command list you want available.
