Why this helps

Repeatedly opening dashboards and explaining the same data makes it harder to keep everyone oriented.

  • Give the team a visual data update in their chat.
  • Make recurring patterns quicker to scan.
  • Reduce dashboard context switching.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Backendless and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to review the specified Backendless data and send a useful visual snapshot to Telegram when available.
  • 4Choose a Notis schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real data set and confirm the photo is readable in Telegram.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a chart if Backendless does not return one?

The instruction should specify the visual you need and the data available. If a suitable image cannot be produced from available information, the workflow cannot send a meaningful chart photo.

Can the snapshot include explanatory text?

Specify the context you want included. Telegram's Send Photo action supports sending a photo with an optional caption.
