Capture Brex expenses from Telegram receipts
Send a receipt to Telegram with a short note, and let Notis turn the details into a Brex expense record.
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
Create Expense
Create a new expense.
Why this helps
Receipts and purchase context often get separated before expense details are recorded.
- Record purchase context while it is fresh.
- Reduce repetitive expense entry.
- Keep receipt submissions in one familiar chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Brex to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to create a Brex expense from a Telegram message containing a receipt and purchase details.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real receipt message and review the resulting expense in Brex.
Questions about this workflow
What should I include with a receipt?
Send the receipt image or details with a brief note explaining the purchase and business purpose. Notis uses the message context to create the expense.
Does this work for group chats?
The bot must be able to see the message. To receive every group message, disable Privacy Mode for the bot in BotFather.
