Check for a saved recipient from your chat
Before you add or send to a contact, ask Notis in Telegram whether that recipient is already in Handwrytten.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
List Recipients
Tool to retrieve a list of recipient addresses that the user has previously saved. Use when you need to view or select from saved recipient addresses for sending handwritten cards.
Why this helps
Duplicate contacts and uncertain addressbook status create extra cleanup before a simple note.
- Check saved recipient status from chat.
- Reduce duplicate addressbook entries.
- Make the next handwritten follow-up easier to prepare.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Handwrytten to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or describe it to Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the saved Handwrytten recipient list to answer designated Telegram lookup requests with matching entries.
- 4Choose New Message Received as the trigger and a run-report channel, then test with a saved contact name.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add a missing person automatically?
No. It checks the saved list. You can create a separate workflow for adding contact details.
What if several people have similar names?
Tell Notis to report multiple possible matches and request clarification rather than treating an uncertain match as definitive.
