Ways Notis can move work from Telegram to Ably
Broadcast Telegram commitments to Ably
Publish messages that sound like tasks or commitments to a shared Ably channel, so a connected app can surface them for follow-up.
Prepare an Ably channel from Telegram
When a Telegram message announces a new project or initiative, initialize its corresponding Ably channel for connected workflows.
Share Telegram announcements as Ably events
Publish new Telegram channel announcements to Ably so connected apps can update their own views in real time.
Send Telegram approval clicks to Ably
Turn an inline button tap into an Ably signal so a connected process can continue after a decision.
Broadcast Telegram corrections to Ably
Publish edits to visible Telegram messages so connected Ably subscribers can correct stale information in their own workflows.
Notify Ably when a Telegram member joins
Publish a group join event to Ably so connected onboarding tools can begin their welcome process.
Check Ably channel health from Telegram
When someone reports a channel issue in Telegram, retrieve Ably channel details to help the team inspect activity and occupancy.
Retrieve Ably history for a Telegram report
When a Telegram message reports a missed or delayed update, retrieve recent Ably channel messages to support review.
Check presence across affected Ably channels
A Telegram incident note can prompt a batch presence query across several named Ably channels for a quick availability snapshot.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Telegram to Ably. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Telegram triggers
Ably actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Query Batch Presence
This tool enables querying the presence states of multiple channels in a single api request. the api retrieves the member presence details of the specified channels in parallel.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Query Batch Presence History
This tool enables querying presence history for multiple channels in a single api request. it uses the get endpoint at https://rest.ably.io/presence to retrieve the member presence history details of the specified channels in parallel.
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Create Ably Channel
Creates a new channel or retrieves an existing channel in ably. this tool allows you to programmatically create and initialize channels for real-time messaging. since ably creates channels implicitly when first used, this action publishes an empty initialization message to create/activate the channel.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Delete Channel Subscription
This tool allows you to unsubscribe devices or clients from push notifications for specific channels. the operation is asynchronous, so immediate requests after deletion may briefly still return the subscription.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Get Channel Details
This tool retrieves metadata and details for a specific channel in ably. it returns a channeldetails object containing information about the channel's status, occupancy, and other metadata. the endpoint provides visibility into channel activity, including metrics such as connections, presence, publishers, and subscribers, and requires appropriate permissions.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Get Channel History
This tool retrieves the message history for a specified ably channel. it uses the get /channels/{channelid}/messages endpoint to return a paginated list of messages in chronological order, subject to parameters such as 'channelid', 'limit', 'direction', 'start', and 'end'. the tool is useful for auditing, recovering missed messages, analyzing channel activity, and debugging message flows. authentication is required via basic or token authentication.
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Get Channel Presence History
This tool retrieves the history of presence messages for a specified channel in ably. it allows you to query presence events on a channel within a given time period.
Get Ably Service Time
This tool retrieves the current server time from ably's service in milliseconds since the epoch. it is particularly useful for time synchronization and generating valid tokenrequest timestamps to prevent replay attacks. the endpoint supports multiple content types, handles http errors, network issues, and is a fundamental tool for ensuring accurate timing in ably applications.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
