Why this helps
A business-account question in a team channel can get lost while someone switches apps to investigate it.
- Respond to a shared account question with a consistent lookup.
- Keep the request tied to its original channel context.
- Reduce manual checking during team coordination.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and FreshBooks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal with a plain-language instruction to retrieve the FreshBooks business list for a designated request post.
- 3Specify the outcome in one instruction, including a concise summary for the team's run-report channel.
- 4Select Telegram New Channel Post as the trigger and choose where runs should be reported.
- 5Test by publishing a request post in a channel where the bot is an administrator.
Questions about this workflow
Does the bot need channel permissions?
Yes. The bot must be an administrator in the channel to receive new channel posts.
Will this list businesses for every post?
The trigger fires on new posts, so the instruction should tell Notis to act only on posts that clearly request this lookup.
