Action

Why this helps
It is harder to coordinate release communications when current chat responsibilities are unclear.
- Retrieve the current administrator list, excluding other bots as Telegram describes.
- Pair the chat context with a deployment status review.
- Make release communication ownership easier to inspect.
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 desired report from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the available Appveyor deployment status and Telegram release chat administrators, then summarize the results.
- 4Choose notis_cron as the trigger and set a recurring schedule.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real review; ensure the bot can access the chat.
Questions about this workflow
Will this list every chat member?
No. It retrieves administrators in the chat, and the Telegram method excludes other bots.
Does it establish who owns deployment approval?
No. The administrator list is chat information and does not establish deployment approval responsibility unless your team supplies that meaning.
