- Send the result to a Notis run-report destination
- Reduce manual checks for an administrator-managed chat

- 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, identify the Telegram chat and ask Notis to retrieve its member count and report the result.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real chat where the bot is an administrator.
