Send an explicitly requested Close SMS from Telegram
When you decide a prospect needs a text, give Notis a clear instruction in Telegram and keep the follow-through close to your conversation.

Create SMS Message
This tool creates a new sms message in close. the tool allows sending immediate sms messages or logging received sms messages using the provided phone numbers and message content. it includes parameters such as local phone, remote phone, text, status, and source.
Why this helps
Switching apps to send a one-off sales text adds friction and makes it easier to postpone a response.
- Reduce app switching for explicitly requested texts.
- Keep SMS activity in your Close workflow.
- Use a clear instruction that states the recipient and message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Close to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation or create one in Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Use one prompt directing Notis to create a Close SMS only when a Telegram message explicitly requests sending a specific text to a named prospect and provides the needed contact context.
- 4Choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real, authorized message and verify the recipient and text in Close.
Questions about this workflow
Does any mention of texting trigger an SMS?
The prompt should require an explicit send instruction and a specific message, so a casual discussion about texting does not send one.
What if the recipient is unclear?
Do not ask the automation to guess. Include a clear recipient in the Telegram instruction and verify the resulting SMS.
