Share Canvas resources with a Telegram button
Let a participant request a course resource with one Telegram tap, then have Notis share the Canvas content with the intended recipients.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Create content share

Why this helps
People often need a simple way to request a resource without remembering a separate Canvas navigation path.
- Make resource requests a one-tap action.
- Share Canvas materials with the intended people.
- Avoid manually processing repeated resource requests.

- 1Connect Telegram and Canvas in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or using Automations in the portal.
- 3Describe in one instruction what the Telegram button means, which Canvas item to share, and who should receive it.
- 4Choose Callback Query Received, select a run-report channel, and test with the real inline button.
