Save channel-mentioned prospects in Apollo
Turn a prospect mention in a Telegram channel into a contact your team can follow up on.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Create Apollo contact
Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
Why this helps
Leads mentioned in broadcast updates can be overlooked because channel posts are easy to read and move past.
- Keep prospect mentions from getting buried in channel history.
- Create an Apollo record from a relevant announcement.
- Make team-shared lead context easier to act on.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Apollo to Notis once through the portal, and make the bot an administrator in the channel.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to capture qualified prospect mentions from channel posts as Apollo contacts.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt describing which posts represent prospects and what context to retain.
- 4Choose New Channel Post as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real prospect announcement and inspect the created contact.
