Keep Telegram research bot commands aligned with current topics
Review recurring public topic searches and refresh the commands people use to start research with your bot.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Set Bot Commands
Use this method to change the list of the bot's commands. see https://core.telegram.org/bots#commands for more details about bot commands.
Why this helps
A bot's command list can drift away from the topics people actually need to explore.
- Use recurring topic research to inform bot command upkeep.
- Keep the list focused on the bot's intended research use.
- Reduce manual command list maintenance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name the command review.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: search the selected topics with Ceramic and update the bot commands to reflect the agreed supported research commands.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and cadence.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real topic review and inspect the command list.
Questions about this workflow
Can Ceramic automatically decide which commands should exist?
Ceramic supplies public search findings. Your instruction should define the bot's scope and rules for turning that context into a concise command list.
Does this action send a message?
No. It uses Telegram's Set Bot Commands action to change the bot's command list.
Could existing commands be replaced?
Set Bot Commands changes the list. Define the desired complete list in the automation prompt to avoid an unintended command set.
