Questions about this workflow
What does the scheduled trigger do?
A notis_cron trigger starts the workflow on the recurring schedule you choose.
Will it know which donors are overdue?
Only if accessible Blackbaud information includes a due date, follow-up status, or other signal. If not, supply the criteria in your instruction or use a webhook that includes them.
Can I send the digest to a Telegram group?
You can specify the Telegram chat destination in your instruction, provided the bot can access that chat.
