Handle a voluntary name estimate in your welcome flow
Make a new member's explicit request easy to follow up while keeping the join event itself out of the estimate decision.
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
Predict Gender
Tool to predict gender from a given first name. Use when you need a quick gender estimation possibly localized by country code.
Why this helps
A helpful welcome follow-up can be missed when a founder has to track a separate request by hand.
- Use the join event as a cue to check for a request.
- Keep the estimate tied to the person's explicit request.
- Reduce manual follow-up in a busy community.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Genderize to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that uses a new-member event only to check for a separate explicit name-estimate request, calls Genderize for that first name only when requested, and otherwise takes no action.
- 3Select Telegram's New Chat Member trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a fictional join event and verify that no request means no lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Does joining the group authorize an estimate?
No. The workflow must require a separate explicit request before calling Genderize.
What happens when the member has not requested an estimate?
The prompt should instruct Notis to take no action beyond the configured run report.
