Why this helps

When you want a brief mental break, finding and sharing a suitable image can take more steps than the break itself.

  • Request a photo when you want a quick change of pace.
  • Fetch the image from Cats as part of the run.
  • Receive the result in Telegram.

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 a random cat photo and send it to your Telegram chat.
  • 3Pick the webhook trigger for the automation.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real example by triggering the webhook and checking Telegram.

Questions about this workflow

Does the webhook trigger automatically?

A webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request reaches it. Your chosen caller must send that request.

Can this send the photo to a group?

Yes, if the bot can access the Telegram group and send messages there.
