Examples
Ways Notis can move work from Telegram to Blackbaud
Capture donation announcements from a Telegram channel
Use a fundraising channel post to start a gift entry in an existing Blackbaud open batch when it contains sufficient donor and gift details.
Look up a Blackbaud gift from a Telegram request
When someone asks about a gift and supplies its record ID in Telegram, retrieve its details for a concise reply or run report.
Check membership details after a Telegram button tap
Use an inline button response to fetch details for the membership identified by its junction ID, including status and expiration.
Check a payment transaction mentioned in Telegram
Retrieve payment status and transaction details when a Telegram message includes a transaction ID and the required Blackbaud Payments access is configured.
Apply corrected donation details from an edited Telegram message
Treat an edited donation note as a correction request and add an updated gift entry only when the prompt can safely identify the donor and open batch.
Capture confirmed donor commitments from Telegram
Add a clearly confirmed gift commitment shared in a Telegram conversation to a chosen open batch when required gift details are present.
Prepare a concise gift follow-up brief
When a Telegram handoff includes a gift ID, retrieve its details to support the next donor follow-up step.
Check membership details during renewal prep
Look up a membership from a Telegram renewal handoff when the message provides the member junction ID.

Trigger Types
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a schedule (recurring or one-time), and a change in one of your Notis databases.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,500+ apps can start a workflow.
New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Scheduled triggers
Run a workflow on the clock, on a recurring schedule or once at a set date and time. Daily standups, hourly syncs, a one-off launch reminder: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers
Fire when a row in one of your Notis databases is added or edited, with optional filters on its properties. New lead added, status changed, value crosses a limit.

Why AI automation
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
