Why this helps
Remembering to check competitor coverage can become another recurring task on an already full list.
- Make a competitor check easy to start when relevant.
- Review recent public headlines in one run.
- Avoid adding another manual search to your routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Currents api to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis to retrieve recent headlines about the competitor named in a Telegram message.
- 3Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a competitor that has recent public coverage.
Questions about this workflow
Does this monitor competitors continuously?
This version runs when you message the bot. For scheduled monitoring, create a separate Notis cron automation if that fits your needs.
Does it make claims about a competitor's performance?
It retrieves headlines for you to review; it does not establish the accuracy or business impact of those reports.

Get User Usage Report
