Track Telegram community onboarding in Formdesk
A new Telegram group member can prompt Notis to create a Formdesk visitor record and preserve the membership event for onboarding.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
Create Visitor
Tool to add a new visitor to a specific Formdesk form. Use when you need to register a visitor's metadata (e.g., name, email) before submitting entries.
Why this helps
When a community grows, manually tracking who joined and who needs a welcome or orientation can become another open loop.
- Keep a record of new member arrivals.
- Make community onboarding easier to review in batches.
- Reduce reliance on memory for welcome follow-ups.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Formdesk to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to register new group members as Formdesk visitors.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to describe the visitor details to record from the membership event.
- 4Select Telegram New Chat Member as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with an appropriate new member event and review the visitor record.
Questions about this workflow
Can it save details members have not shared?
No. Instruct Notis to use only information available from the event and avoid inferring personal details.
Will the bot's own addition create a visitor?
The trigger includes the bot being added. Tell Notis to skip bot accounts if they are not part of your onboarding process.
