Why this helps
When status updates arrive by text, keeping a separate team message current becomes one more task to remember.
- Refresh a Telegram status message from a relevant incoming text.
- Keep the latest update visible in a shared chat.
- Reduce manual reposting of status changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Telegram once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, describe how an incoming SMS should update an existing Telegram bot message.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger Android Texter can call, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real status update and verify the edited message.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create the Telegram status message first?
This workflow uses Edit Message, which edits text messages sent by the bot. An existing bot message and the details needed to edit it must be available.
What if the SMS does not contain a status update?
Describe which messages count as updates in the instruction. Notis can only reason from information provided in the incoming request.
