Contact details on paper cards tend to be forgotten once the event or meeting moves on.
- Capture contact information near the moment you meet.
- Avoid typing card details into multiple places.
- Create a repeatable handoff from photo to structured extraction.

- 1Connect Telegram and Extracta ai to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to start extracting business card details from card images you send in Telegram.
- 3Pick New Message Received and choose a channel where run reports should appear.
- 4Test by sending one business card image to the bot.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add the person to my contacts?
No. Extracta ai starts an extraction; adding or following up with the person is a separate action.
Can the photo be taken on my phone?
Yes, send the photo to the Telegram bot in a chat it can access.
