Search contract opportunities from your Telegram chat
Send a plain-language search request to Notis. It retrieves matching Highergov opportunities and summarizes what may merit follow-up.
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 Opportunities
Tool to retrieve opportunity data. Use when you need a paginated list of opportunities filtered by search ID, date, or source type.
Why this helps
Switching from a chat thought to a separate procurement search can drain the momentum needed to evaluate a lead.
- Capture a procurement lead while it is top of mind.
- Search by the market or work description you provide in natural language.
- Receive a practical review summary instead of starting with a blank search.
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 conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to search Highergov opportunities whenever you send a contract area or procurement request.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real service area or contract keyword.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ask for a particular kind of contract?
Yes. Include the work area, buyer, or other search context in your message, and the instruction can tell Notis to consider it.
Will it award or bid on a contract?
No. This workflow retrieves opportunity information for you to review.
