Ask the Team About Deployment Readiness in Telegram
Turn a deployment check into a clear team decision with a native Telegram poll.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Deployment decisions get delayed when status and team readiness are scattered across tools.
- Pair available deployment status with a focused team question.
- Collect responses in a native Telegram poll.
- Keep a deployment decision visible in the team conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the relevant available Appveyor deployment status and post a Telegram poll asking whether the team is ready to proceed.
- 4Choose notis_cron as the trigger and set it for the intended decision time.
- 5Choose a report channel and test using one real deployment status.
Questions about this workflow
Does the poll automatically deploy or stop anything?
No. The Telegram poll collects responses. This workflow does not perform deployment actions.
Can it base the question on current deployment status?
It can use the status returned by the Appveyor check. If the status is unavailable, the instruction should avoid presenting it as confirmed.
