Turn a Telegram photo into a Google Cloud Vision reference image
You take a product shot on your phone and it is already in Telegram. Rather than uploading it into the Vision console and wiring it to a product, you send it to your bot and Notis creates the reference image where it belongs.
Trigger
New Message Received
Action
Create ReferenceImage
Add a reference image to a product for visual detection.
Why this helps
Reference images pile up in camera rolls and chats because attaching each one to the correct Vision product through the console is fiddly and easy to postpone.
- Attach product photos the second you take them
- Keep image search results sharp with fresh reference images
- Avoid manual uploads and resource-name juggling in the console
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Cloud Vision to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open the portal via your Notis link and create a New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome in plain language: when I send a product photo to the bot, add it as a reference image on the matching Vision product.
- 4Select the Telegram new message trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by sending one real photo and confirming the reference image is created.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which product the image belongs to?
You mention the product in your message and Notis matches it, so you never copy resource names by hand.
What image types work?
Standard product photos you would send over Telegram work fine for creating a reference image.
