Create Vision reference images from Telegram channel posts

Your team drops product shots into a Telegram channel as they go. Instead of anyone re-uploading them into Vision, Notis watches the channel and turns each new post into a reference image on the right product.

Trigger

New Channel Post

Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.

Action

Create ReferenceImage

Tool to create a ReferenceImage under a product. Use when adding a new image to a product for detection.

Why this helps

Product photos live and die in a channel because moving them into Vision is a manual second step nobody owns.

  • Capture reference images from a shared channel with no extra step
  • Let the team keep posting where they already do
  • Keep image search fed by real product photos as they arrive

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Google Cloud Vision to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Make sure your bot is an administrator on the channel you want to watch.
  • 3Create a New Automation and write the prompt: when a product photo is posted to the channel, add it as a Vision reference image on the matching product.
  • 4Select the Telegram new channel post trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by posting one real photo and confirming the reference image is created.

Questions about this workflow

Does the bot need admin rights?

Yes. Channel post triggers require your bot to be an administrator on that channel.

How is the product matched?

Notis uses the post caption and context to attach the image to the right product, so you avoid manual resource names.
