Move ERPNext approvals forward from Telegram
Respond to an approval prompt from Telegram and let Notis apply the matching action to the ERPNext document.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Apply Workflow
Tool to apply a workflow action to a document in ERPNext/Frappe. Use when you need to transition a document through workflow states (e.g., approve, reject, submit). The document must have a workflow configured for its doctype.
Why this helps
Approval requests can sit idle when opening another system and finding the right record adds friction to a quick decision.
- Act on a decision from the Telegram approval prompt.
- Reduce navigation between chat and ERPNext for a simple workflow step.
- Keep configured ERPNext workflow states moving.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and ERPNext to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to handle ERPNext approval responses.
- 3Describe in one prompt which button response maps to an available ERPNext workflow action and document.
- 4Select Callback Query Received and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a non-critical document that has the intended workflow configured.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work with any ERPNext document?
The document must have a workflow configured and the selected action must be available to the authenticated user.
Does pressing a button always approve?
The prompt should define the intended response. Notis can apply an available workflow action when the matching callback is received.
