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
Decline booking with reason
Declines a pending booking using its bookinguid, optionally with a reason; this action is irreversible and applies only to bookings awaiting confirmation.
Why this helps
When a booking decision is delayed across tools, pending requests add mental overhead and can be overlooked.
- Resolve pending requests where the decision is made
- Include a concise decline reason when appropriate
- Avoid revisiting the same booking decision later
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Cal to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe how Notis should handle explicit decline decisions in Telegram.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to decline only the pending booking identified by its UID, using the stated reason if provided.
- 4Choose the Telegram message trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with a suitable pending booking.
