Add approved custom rules through Telegram
Capture an explicit rule request in the chat where it was made, then let Notis create the rules on the named profile.
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
Create Custom Rules for Profile
Tool to create custom rules for a profile. Use after confirming the profile ID and preparing rule definitions. Provide a list of rule objects matching the API schema.
Why this helps
Small policy updates can be delayed when rule requests get buried among unrelated messages.
- Turn an explicit request into a concrete policy update.
- Keep the rule request and automation run together.
- Reduce re-entry of straightforward approved rules.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Control D to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or through Automations -> New Automation.
- 3In one prompt, instruct Notis to create only the custom rules explicitly specified for the identified Control D profile, and to ask for missing details before proceeding.
- 4Choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one authorized, low-impact rule request and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
What does the request need to identify?
It should specify the profile and the custom rule details to create. Notis should request clarification when details are missing.
Can I use this for vague policy ideas?
Use it for explicit, approved rule instructions. A vague request should be clarified before any rule is created.
