Turn a Backendless metric into a Telegram check-in
Pair a recurring data point with a quick poll so your team can respond without a separate check-in round.
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
A number alone may not tell you whether the team sees a concern, but gathering everyone's reaction takes extra follow-up.
- Put a recurring metric and team response in one place.
- Make a lightweight check-in easy to answer.
- Reduce follow-up messages to gather reactions.
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.
- 3In one instruction, specify the Backendless metric to review and the question and answer options for the Telegram poll.
- 4Choose a Notis schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real metric and check that the poll choices are clear and relevant.
