Approve a build with one tap
Make build approval a deliberate, low-friction step. Review the request in Telegram, then tap the button to start the described Codemagic build.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Start New Build
Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.
Why this helps
Approval can be vague in a busy chat, leaving people unsure whether a build was authorized or still needs attention.
- Separate review from the build action with a button tap.
- Keep the approval and its build request together.
- Reduce follow-up messages asking whether someone approved the run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Codemagic to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in the portal with a Telegram callback trigger.
- 3Write one instruction to start only the Codemagic app workflow and branch or tag specified by the approved button context.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test the button with a non-production build request.
- 5Confirm that the button is attached to the intended Telegram message before using it for real approvals.
Questions about this workflow
Does tapping any Telegram button start a build?
The instruction should limit action to the intended approval button and a request that includes the necessary app and branch or tag.
Can the button approval replace a missing branch?
No. Codemagic's build action requires a branch or tag, so the approval context should include one.
