Why this helps
Outdated links can keep circulating when an old Telegram post remains easy to find.
- Remove an eligible message after an HTTP request.
- Reduce the chance a stale link is reused from chat.
- Keep cleanup tied to a clear instruction.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create it.
- 3Describe which bot message with an outdated Bitly link should be deleted and why.
- 4Pick notis_webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real eligible message and confirm the outcome in the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Can Telegram delete every message?

Can it delete a person's message?
The action can delete messages subject to Telegram's limitations and bot permissions. Confirm the bot can delete the specific message.
Does this delete the Bitly link itself?
No. It deletes a Telegram message, not a Bitly link.
