Start a contact lookup with one tap
Keep a contact lookup close to a Telegram reminder. Tap the button and Notis retrieves matching Affinity people context.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
Why this helps
A follow-up reminder can lose momentum if finding the matching contact takes too many steps.
- Turn a saved reminder into a quick contact search.
- Reduce steps between remembering and acting on a relationship task.
- Bring useful contact context back to chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Affinity to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or ask Notis to find a person in Affinity when you tap a contact lookup button in Telegram.
- 3Select Telegram Callback Query Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with an inline button tied to a real contact lookup request.
Questions about this workflow
Does the button itself contain a contact name?
The automation can use the callback context available from the Telegram message and button interaction.
Can it write a note on the contact?
No. The available action searches and retrieves people; it does not write contact notes.
