Capture business metrics from Telegram in Databox
Share a number where you already chat. Notis adds the update to Databox so your metrics stay current without a separate data-entry session.
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
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
Why this helps
A useful number mentioned in chat can disappear beneath newer messages before it makes it into a dashboard.
- Record a metric without opening another reporting tool.
- Keep informal updates available for dashboard analysis.
- Reduce the chance that a number shared in chat is forgotten.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Databox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to log metric messages from Telegram in Databox.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to explain which metric messages to recognize and which Databox dataset to update.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Send one real metric message and confirm Notis added the intended record.
Questions about this workflow
Do I have to map message fields into Databox columns?
No. Describe the metric and destination dataset in the automation prompt. Notis interprets the instruction.
Can I use this in a group chat?
Yes, if the bot can receive the messages. To receive every group message, disable the bot's Privacy Mode in BotFather.
