Route new Telegram group members to an Apollo owner
When someone joins your group, let Notis route their existing Apollo contact to the right teammate based on your instruction.
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
Update contact ownership
Updates the ownership of specified apollo contacts to a given apollo user, who must be part of the same team.
Why this helps
A new community member can be welcomed in chat but still have no clear owner for a business follow-up.
- Give a known contact a clear teammate owner.
- Turn a group join into a prompt handoff opportunity.
- Reduce ambiguity about who follows up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Apollo to Notis once through the portal, and add the bot to the group.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to assign a matching Apollo contact when a relevant member joins.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction which joins matter, how to identify an existing contact, and the ownership rule.
- 4Select New Chat Member as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a relevant real join and confirm the contact owner in Apollo.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a contact for every new member?
This workflow updates ownership of specified existing contacts. It does not create a new Apollo contact.
Can the bot see every group join?
The bot needs to belong to the Telegram group. Check the bot's access and test a new-member event.
