Answer shared project-list requests from Telegram
When a team asks for project names in a Telegram channel, Notis can check FreshBooks and report the list without a separate manual lookup.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
List Projects
Tool to list all projects for a business. use after confirming the business id.
Why this helps
Project-name requests are easy to leave unanswered when they require a separate accounting-app detour.
- Keep a project-list request attached to the team's channel.
- Confirm the business before fetching its project names.
- Make routine project references easier to answer.
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 one instruction to handle channel posts that request a FreshBooks project list.
- 3Tell Notis in plain language to identify and confirm the business, then summarize its projects.
- 4Select Telegram New Channel Post as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a request post in a channel where the bot is an administrator.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow tell which post is a request?
The plain-language instruction can ask Notis to act only when a post clearly requests a FreshBooks project list.
What does the FreshBooks action need?
List Projects requires a confirmed business ID, so the instruction should have Notis establish the business first.
