Turn a Telegram channel post into a Basin form
When an announcement commits you to collecting responses, connect that moment to the form setup it needs.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Create Form
Tool to create a new form in basin. use when you need to automate form setup with name, timezone, and project association; optionally configure redirect, notifications, or spam protection.
Why this helps
A public promise to collect responses can be forgotten once the work moves on to the next task.
- Connect an announcement with the follow-through it implies.
- Reduce the chance that a promised intake remains only a post.
- Make form setup part of a visible publishing routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Basin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or ask Notis to create a Basin form when a Telegram channel post announces a new intake.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction that defines which announcements qualify and how Notis should use the stated intake details.
- 4Select New Channel Post as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Publish one real qualifying announcement and verify the form in Basin.
Questions about this workflow
Will every channel post create a form?
Your instruction should define only the announcements that clearly commit to a new intake.
