Handle nickname-only lookup requests
When a conversation contains only an alias, run a requested username query without searching through other tools first.
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
Get Gender from Username
Tool to determine gender from a username or nickname. Use when you have an alias or handle and want to infer gender from that identifier.
Why this helps
A contact identified by a nickname can create a dead end when the original context is spread across chats.
- Use an alias already provided in the conversation.
- Avoid delaying a requested check while searching for more details.
- Return the estimate where the request began.
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 a nickname only when the message explicitly requests a lookup.
- 3Select New Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a suitable nickname example.
Questions about this workflow
Can a nickname reliably identify someone's gender?
No. An alias may be ambiguous, and the estimate may be wrong or unavailable.
What if more context is needed?
Skip the query when the alias is unclear rather than guessing which person or identifier was intended.
