Turn a channel gear request into product candidates
Use a Telegram channel as a shared place for equipment requests. When a new post describes a need, Notis searches Best Buy and summarizes relevant listings.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Get Products
Tool to retrieve products from best buy. use when you need to fetch product listings with optional filters and sorting. example: 'get products for category abcat0101000 sorted by saleprice.dsc.'
Why this helps
Shared equipment requests can get buried in channel updates before anyone researches the options.
- Respond to a published request with product candidates.
- Keep the shared request connected to the search outcome.
- Reduce the chance that equipment research gets lost in the channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Best Buy to Notis once; the bot must be an administrator in the channel.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt directing Notis to search Best Buy when a channel post requests equipment and summarize listings that match its details.
- 4Choose Telegram New Channel Post as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test by publishing one real, specific gear request in the channel.
Questions about this workflow
Does the bot need a channel role?
Yes. Telegram requires the bot to be an administrator in the channel for it to receive new channel posts.
Can it tell which requests are for shopping?
The prompt can ask Notis to respond only when a post clearly requests equipment and provides enough detail to search.
