Check request capacity before a transcription batch
Ask Notis for the current rate-limit information when you're planning several transcription requests.
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
Get API Rate Limit
Tool to retrieve current API rate limits. Since Happy Scribe does not expose a dedicated rate limit endpoint, we attempt to read standard rate-limit headers from lightweight GET endpoints (/transcriptions or /version). If headers are unavailable, we fall back to documented defaults (200 requests/hour) with a best-effort estimate.
Why this helps
Batch work is harder to plan when you are unsure how quickly requests can be sent.
- Check request capacity as part of planning a batch.
- Keep a technical lookup in the workflow conversation.
- Reduce uncertainty before sending multiple jobs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Happy Scribe to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for one.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to retrieve Happy Scribe rate-limit information when a Telegram message asks about request capacity.
- 4Choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a Telegram request for the current rate-limit information.
Questions about this workflow
Is the rate-limit result always a live number?
The action reads standard rate-limit headers where available and otherwise provides a best-effort estimate based on documented defaults.
