Bring Affinity contact context to a new member welcome
When someone joins your Telegram group, Notis can look for a matching Affinity person record and share available context for a thoughtful welcome.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
Get a single person
Use get `/v2/persons/fields` with `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` for detailed data; basic info by default. request multiple fields at once. "export all people" permission needed.
Why this helps
A new introduction can be harder to handle when you need to pause and search another app for context.
- Check whether a new member has existing Affinity context.
- Help the team make a more informed introduction.
- Reduce the manual work of looking up each new participant.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Affinity to Notis once through the portal, and add the bot to the group.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or ask Notis in plain language to look up a new Telegram group member in Affinity and summarize any matching person details.
- 3Choose Telegram New Chat Member as the trigger and select where run reports appear.
- 4Test by adding a consenting test account with a matching Affinity person record.
