Catch repeated Telegram instructions with a text comparison
Ask Notis to compare a new message against a reference before it becomes another task to track.
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
Compare Text
Tool to compare two text strings and determine if they match. Use when you have two strings and need to verify if they are equal.
Why this helps
Repeated requests and small wording differences can make it unclear whether a task is new or already handled.
- Spot exact repeats before adding another follow-up.
- Keep repeated requests from creating extra mental overhead.
- Use a consistent reference phrase for routine checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Encodian to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis for the comparison in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to compare qualifying Telegram message text with a clearly described reference string using Encodian and report whether they match.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with one matching and one different sample.
