Why this helps
A handoff can stall when the recipient cannot tell which FreshBooks project is relevant.
- Provide project names where the handoff is already being discussed.
- Confirm the business before showing its projects.
- Cut down on follow-up questions about project context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and FreshBooks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis in Telegram to retrieve project names for a handoff request.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to confirm the business and return a concise project reference.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real project handoff request in a chat the bot can receive.
Questions about this workflow
What if the handoff does not include a business name?
The instruction should have Notis clarify or confirm the business before listing projects.
Does this assign or move work?
No. It retrieves project names to support the handoff.
