Expand regional procurement leads into a SLED search
When your channel shares a region or procurement theme, Notis can check Highergov SLED opportunities and surface related listings.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Get SLED Contract Opportunities
Tool to retrieve state and local (SLED) contract opportunities. Uses the general Opportunity endpoint with optional filters.
Why this helps
Regional leads shared in a channel can be hard to turn into consistent follow-up research.
- Turn shared regional signals into a repeatable opportunity check.
- Keep state and local procurement research close to your team's existing discussion.
- Spot related listings without manually restarting the search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Highergov to Notis once, and make sure the bot is an administrator in the channel.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to make it conversationally.
- 3Give one plain-language instruction to search Highergov SLED opportunities when channel posts mention a region, buyer, or procurement need.
- 4Choose Telegram New Channel Post as the trigger and set the run report channel.
- 5Test by publishing one representative regional procurement post.
