Save expense notes from Telegram in ERPNext
Record an expense while you still remember what it was for, then review it in ERPNext when you handle expenses.
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 Document
Tool to create a new document of a specific DocType in ERPNext. Use when you need to create records like ToDo, Customer, Lead, Sales Invoice, etc. The document data should include all required fields for the specific DocType. Standard fields like creation, modified, and owner are automatically set by ERPNext.
Why this helps
Receipt details and the reason for a purchase are easy to forget by the time expense administration reaches the top of the list.
- Preserve expense context close to when you share it.
- Keep expense details in ERPNext for later review.
- Reduce end-of-week reconstruction from chat and memory.
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 capture Telegram expense notes.
- 3Describe in one prompt how a relevant expense message should become an ERPNext Expense Claim record.
- 4Choose New Message Received as the trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real expense note, then review the record before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Does this approve or reimburse an expense?
No. This workflow creates a record for review; it does not claim to approve or reimburse it.
What should I write in Telegram?
Include the expense context you want Notis to use, such as what the purchase was for. The prompt can describe the messages to capture.
