Update Apollo contact stages from Telegram
When a prospect's status changes, say so in Telegram and let Notis update the contact stage in Apollo.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Update contact stage
Updates the stage for one or more existing contacts in apollo.io to a new valid contact stage, useful for managing sales funnel progression.
Why this helps
Contact stages fall out of date when updates depend on a separate CRM cleanup session.
- Record stage changes closer to the decision.
- Keep contact status consistent with recent conversations.
- Reduce end-of-day CRM maintenance.
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 tell Notis to update Apollo contact stages from explicit Telegram decisions.
- 3Describe the qualifying stage-change messages and destination stage in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Choose New Message Received as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real contact and confirm the resulting Apollo stage.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use stage names in my instruction?
Use stage names that exist in your Apollo account and verify the selected stage after a test. Apollo expects a valid contact stage.
Will every Telegram message update a stage?
Your instruction should tell Notis to act only on explicit stage-change decisions, not general discussion.
