Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Chat Members Count

Get the number of members in a chat. the bot must be an administrator in the chat for this to work.

Why this helps

Chat membership drifts over time and weakens incident coordination.

  • Detect roster drift
  • Keep incident rooms focused
  • Improve response coverage

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Better Stack and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Incident Chat Membership Check.
  • 3Tell Notis to compare the Telegram member count with the expected Better Stack on-call coverage and report notable differences.
  • 4Choose notis_cron and set a recurring schedule.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real roster window.

Questions about this workflow

Can member count identify specific missing people?

Member count alone cannot identify individuals; provide another source or instruction if names are required.

Does this invite or remove members?

No, it reports the count comparison.
