Notis

Check a first name from Telegram

Get a requested name lookup from the chat where you are already working.

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

Gender From First Name

Tool to determine the gender of a first name. Use when you need to identify gender based on a given name.

Why this helps

Switching tools to run a one-off name lookup interrupts the task you were focused on.

  • Handle lookup requests in the flow of conversation.
  • Review the returned result before using it.
  • Keep the request and follow-up in one familiar channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Gender-API to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
  • 3Use one instruction: when a Telegram message asks for a first-name lookup, run Gender From First Name on the name supplied and report the result.
  • 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real request and check the result.

Questions about this workflow

What should the Telegram message include?

It should clearly ask for a first-name lookup and include the name to check.

Does the workflow decide how to use the result?

No. It returns the lookup result for you to review.
