Decide event topics with a Telegram poll
Turn event interest into a lightweight team decision. Use Basin responses to frame a Telegram poll about what to run next.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Event planning can stall when people express interest in different ideas but nobody turns that input into a clear decision.
- Convert stated event interest into a simple team vote.
- Keep the planning decision in Telegram.
- Use responses as input without treating them as a complete audience survey.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe how Basin responses should inform a Telegram poll about event topics or format.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real response and confirm the poll options are grounded in submitted interest.
Questions about this workflow
Does the poll go to Basin respondents?
The Telegram action sends the poll to your chosen Telegram chat. It does not contact respondents through Basin.
Can the poll represent all potential attendees?
Not necessarily. It reflects the responses available to the automation; do not treat it as a complete audience baseline unless you know the data is complete.
