Make approval requests simple to answer
When a message gets your approval-request reaction, put a concise yes-or-no poll in Telegram with enough context to decide.

Why this helps
Approval requests are easy to miss when they compete with ongoing conversations and other decisions.
- Make approval status easy to express
- Bring the decision context into one poll
- Avoid repeated requests across channels
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or describe it to Notis conversationally.
- 3Give one instruction to send a Telegram yes-or-no poll when a Slack message receives your approval-request reaction, including a brief summary.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real approval request and the designated reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reaction itself mean approval?
No. The reaction starts a poll to collect a separate response in Telegram.
What should the poll ask?
Keep the question focused on the specific approval requested in the Slack message.
