Why this helps
A spontaneous question in chat can lead to a search detour and a forgotten reply.
- Respond to a request without leaving the chat workflow.
- Fetch a random fact from Cats on demand.
- Keep the result in the Telegram conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Telegram once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe that a webhook run should fetch one random cat fact and send it to Telegram.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger for the automation.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the fact message appears.
Questions about this workflow
Will Telegram itself detect a message asking for a fact?
Not from this setup alone. The listed trigger is a Notis webhook, so an HTTP request must start the run.
Can I set the fact topic?
Cats is described as providing random cat facts. If you need a specific topic, provide that requirement in your instruction and verify the test result.
