Why this helps
Project photos get scattered across chats and personal libraries before anyone decides where to keep them.
- Creates a clear home for project photos at kickoff.
- Reduces the need to remember album setup later.
- Makes it easier to share a consistent destination with collaborators.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Photos to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis in Telegram to create one.
- 3Use a plain-language instruction to create a Google Photos album from a Telegram message that names a project.
- 4Select the Telegram New Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by sending a project name and confirm the album appears in Google Photos.
Questions about this workflow
What should I include in the Telegram message?
Include the project name and enough context to distinguish it from other projects. Notis uses the instruction to create a suitably named album.
Does this upload the message's photos too?
This workflow creates the album. To add photos, set up a separate instruction that uses an available Google Photos add or upload action.
