- Present supported campaign tasks in Telegram's command menu.
- Make common requests easier to remember.

- 2Create an automation instructing Notis to set the Telegram bot commands for the QR campaign tasks you support.

Questions about this workflow
Do these commands automatically run Beaconstac actions?
No. This Telegram action sets the bot command list. The commands need corresponding bot behavior to perform tasks.
What command descriptions should I include?
Use concise labels for tasks your bot actually supports, such as requesting scan analytics or a QR code. Do not list unsupported behavior.
