Estimate how many unique entities were active
For a quick sense of reach, ask Notis to estimate unique entities in a defined activity set. Bitquery's uniq metric can provide approximate or exact unique counts depending on its use.
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
Uniq Metric
Tool to estimate the count of unique values using the uniq metric. use when you need approximate or exact unique counts for analytics on blockchain datasets.
Why this helps
Repeated activity from the same entities can make raw event totals a poor proxy for how many participants were involved.
- Get an estimate of unique entities for a defined activity set.
- Avoid treating repeat events as separate participants.
- Choose an appropriate uniqueness summary for an early read.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Bitquery to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and instruct Notis in plain language to estimate unique entities using the uniq metric for requested activity.
- 3Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test with a clear entity type, network, and timeframe; confirm whether the result is approximate or exact.
Questions about this workflow
Is uniq always exact?
No. The metric may provide approximate or exact unique counts. The report should identify which kind applies to the query.
When should I use count distinct instead?
Use the count distinct metric when you need a distinct-value aggregation rather than an estimate-oriented uniq metric.
