Bring a requested demographic or economic visual into Telegram, with a short explanation of what it shows.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Photo
Send photos to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
A useful chart can get separated from the conversation when people must move between a data workspace and team chat.
- Put an available visualization in the team conversation.
- Ask for a short caption that preserves the chart's context.
- Avoid manually exporting and sharing each requested visual.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, request the specified Census data and a visualization, then send the resulting image with a concise context note to Telegram.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify that an image is available and understandable.
Questions about this workflow
Does the Census bureau action guarantee an image?
No. The workflow can send a photo when the request produces an image that Telegram can accept. Ask for a text summary if no image is returned.
Can it visualize a trend?
Only when the returned data includes the needed periods. Specify the comparison range or supply a baseline if it is not available.
What should the caption say?
Ask it to state the measure, geography, period, and any important limitation available from the result.
