Why this helps
Switching tools to find portal details can interrupt a founder's focus and leave useful context scattered across chats.
- Get portal metadata from a familiar chat without changing tools.
- Keep the request and its run report together in Telegram.
- Ask Notis to summarize the results in a concise, useful format.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Cats to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language that a Telegram request for the Cats portal directory should retrieve and summarize available portal metadata.
- 3Select Telegram's New Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should report automation runs, then test by asking for the Cats portal directory in a Telegram chat the bot can access.
Questions about this workflow
What happens when someone asks for the Cats portal directory?
Notis uses Cats' Get Portals action to retrieve portal metadata and summarizes the results in the run report.
Does the Telegram bot need access to the chat?
