Confirm which Telegram bot your team connected
A quick bot identity check helps you spot a configuration mix-up before a fundraising workflow runs. Send the profile details to a Telegram destination on a schedule.

Why this helps
When several bots exist, teams can lose track of which one is connected to an automation.
- Make the connected bot identity visible.
- Add a lightweight readiness check to a routine.
- Reduce confusion when multiple bots are in use.

- 1Connect Blackbaud and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the bot check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the connected Telegram bot's basic information and send a brief identity note to your chosen Telegram chat.
- 4Choose a notis_cron schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the displayed bot is the intended one.
