Keep document expiry details current with a chat note
When an expiry date changes, capture the update in Telegram and have Notis adjust the Affinda document details before it slips from memory.
Trigger
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.
Action
Update Document
Tool to update specific fields of a document. use when you need to rename, reassign, or adjust expiry and storage settings after document creation.
Why this helps
Expiry changes are easy to miss when they arrive during another task and require a separate record update afterward.
- Capture expiry changes while the message is fresh.
- Reduce stale lifecycle details in document records.
- Avoid an extra task to remember after responding.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Affinda to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to apply explicit document expiry updates from Telegram.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to identify the Affinda document and apply the requested expiry detail.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose where runs are reported.
- 5Test with a known document and an appropriate test update, then confirm the Affinda details.
Questions about this workflow
Can I send an expiry date in a Telegram message?
Yes. State the intended date clearly and identify the document so Notis can apply the update.
Will the automation make a legal decision about expiry?
No. It records the explicit detail you provide in the document record.
