Update a nearby search when a Telegram request changes

If someone clarifies what they need or where they need it, search using the revised request.

Trigger

Message Edited

Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.

Action

Nearby search

Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.

Why this helps

A clarification in chat can get lost, causing people to repeat a search or act on the wrong options.

  • Use the latest place type and area details.
  • Keep corrections connected to the original request.
  • Reduce repeated searches after a clarification.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Google Maps to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Give one plain-language instruction to rerun a nearby search from the revised Telegram message.
  • 4Choose the Telegram message-edited trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by editing a request with a changed location or category.

Questions about this workflow

What edits are useful here?
