Manage Apollo sequence status from Telegram
A clear Telegram button can tell Notis to update an Apollo contact's sequence status when your outreach decision is ready.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Update contact status in sequence
Updates a contact's status within a designated apollo sequence, but cannot set the status to 'active'.
Why this helps
Sequence housekeeping can pile up when a decision is made in chat but must be repeated later in Apollo.
- Complete a sequence status update from the decision point.
- Keep outreach administration lightweight.
- Use intentional taps for clear status changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Apollo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to update sequence status for the contact tied to a tapped button.
- 3State the button meaning, contact identification rule, and intended status in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Choose Callback Query Received as the trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test the button with one real contact and verify the sequence status in Apollo.
