Capture Telegram leads in Formdesk automatically
When someone messages your Telegram bot with an inquiry, Notis can turn the details into a Formdesk entry for your team to review.
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 Formdesk Entry
Tool to submit a new entry to a Formdesk form. Use after collecting all form field values to send a new entry for a specific formId. Example: "Submit entry to form 12345 with first_name='Bob', email='bob@example.com'."
Why this helps
Copying contact details out of chat interrupts focused work and makes promising leads easy to overlook.
- Keep new inquiries in a consistent form record.
- Reduce manual copying between chat and your intake process.
- Review leads later without searching old messages.
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 conversationally to capture lead messages as Formdesk entries.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction describing which Telegram inquiries to submit and what information to include when present.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real inquiry and review the resulting Formdesk entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does every Telegram message become a lead?
Tell Notis in the instruction to submit only messages that contain a genuine inquiry. The automation uses the message context to decide what to send.
What if a message leaves out contact details?
Instruct Notis to include only information the sender provided and avoid guessing missing details.
