Look up Formdesk entry details from Telegram

When you need context on one submission, ask through Telegram and have Notis retrieve the details from Formdesk.

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

Get Entry Details

Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific Formdesk entry. Use after confirming you have the form ID and entry ID.

Why this helps

Switching into a form account to answer a one-off question breaks momentum and can make you lose the thread of the task.

  • Retrieve a specific submission during the conversation where it came up.
  • Avoid repeated navigation for one-off questions.
  • Keep the review request explicit and easy to repeat.

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 fetch Formdesk entry details when requested in Telegram.
  • 3Describe in plain language what form and entry information Notis should retrieve from the request context.
  • 4Pick Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by requesting a real entry whose form and entry identifiers are available.

Questions about this workflow

What does the lookup need?

The action requires a form ID and entry ID. Ensure they are available to Notis from the request or account context.

Can this find entries by a person's name?

This action retrieves a specific entry by its identifiers; it is not a general search action.
