Why this helps

When a buyer's name comes up, finding basic agency context can interrupt deeper work and create another open tab to revisit.

  • Answer basic agency research questions from chat.
  • Reduce repeated context gathering across potential buyers.
  • Keep buyer exploration moving while the question is fresh.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Highergov to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3In a single instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Highergov agency information when you ask about a named government agency.
  • 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a run report channel.
  • 5Test with an agency name you are currently researching.
