Why this helps
Time-sensitive updates can stay in the wrong chat when someone needs to bring another group into the loop.
- Bring a selected message into the escalation conversation.
- Preserve the original message when forwarding is supported.
- Use an explicit source and destination supplied with the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Notis and name it for event escalation.
- 3In one instruction, specify when to forward a supplied Telegram message and how to identify its source and destination chats.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one eligible real message and confirm the bot can access both chats.
Questions about this workflow
Can the webhook directly forward an Adafruit IO feed value?
Forward Message operates on a Telegram message. The request must identify an eligible Telegram message; use Send Message for a newly composed update from feed details.
Will every message type forward?
Telegram has forwarding limitations, including for service messages. Test with the message type and chat access you plan to use.
