Keep a requested onboarding check on track
Use a new-member event to handle a clearly requested, purpose-limited name check as part of your group workflow.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
Query Gender by First Name
Tool to determine gender by querying first name. Use when you need to infer likely gender for a given name with optional localization hints.
Why this helps
Small onboarding follow-ups can be lost when a group grows and attention is split across conversations.
- Start from the join event without manually watching the group.
- Keep the result available with the onboarding run.
- Limit the lookup to an appropriate, explicit use.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to query the member's first name only when the group workflow has an appropriate purpose.
- 3Select New Chat Member and choose the run-report channel.
- 4Test with one suitable join event and review the output.
Questions about this workflow
Should this run for everyone who joins?
Only if there is an appropriate purpose. Avoid making assumptions or taking action based on an uncertain estimate.
What if a usable first name is missing?
Skip the lookup when the member's name is unavailable or unclear.
