Give new Telegram group members a useful local starting point
Welcome a new group member with a practical place discovery around the team's meetup area, coworking base, or event location.
Trigger

Action
Discover Places
Tool to discover places and addresses by free-form text near a location. Use when you need to find points of interest or specific addresses from a natural-language query.
Why this helps
New members often need the same local context, and repeating the search manually adds another onboarding task.
- Prompt a local place discovery when a member joins.
- Reuse a consistent group location for practical orientation.
- Reduce repetitive onboarding searches for coworking or meetup places.

- 1Connect Telegram and HERE to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that uses HERE Discover Places to find useful locations around the group's established base when a member joins.
- 3Choose Telegram New Chat Member and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a suitable group event and confirm the group's reference location is clear in the prompt.
