Action

Set Bot Commands

Use this method to change the list of the bot's commands. see https://core.telegram.org/bots#commands for more details about bot commands.

Why this helps

Teams forget available bot actions when commands do not reflect the current campaign process.

  • Keeps bot commands aligned with current work
  • Reduces repeated instructions
  • Makes campaign routines easier to adopt

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bigmailer and Telegram in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create a new automation and name it Campaign bot command refresh.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: update the Telegram bot commands from the supplied Bigmailer campaign workflow and keep names concise and clear.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where Notis run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real command set.
