Move Telegram approval decisions into Bubble
Let a quick button tap in Telegram advance the Bubble workflow behind an approval.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Trigger Bubble Workflow via POST
Triggers a Bubble API workflow by name using a POST request. Use this tool to execute backend workflows in your Bubble application. The workflow must be configured in your Bubble app's API Workflows section with "Expose as public API workflow" enabled. Pass any required parameters as a JSON object in the parameters field.
Why this helps
Approval decisions can be buried in chat, leaving the next step unclear or delayed.
- Make a clear tap trigger the next approval step.
- Reduce manual copying of decisions into Bubble.
- Keep approval progress moving from the place decisions happen.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Bubble to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Set up a Bubble API workflow for the approval action and expose it as a public API workflow.
- 3Create a Notis automation with one plain-language instruction describing which button responses start the Bubble workflow and what decision context to include.
- 4Choose Callback Query Received and a channel for run reports.
- 5Tap one test button and confirm the intended Bubble workflow runs.
