Action

Get Subgrant Awards

Tool to retrieve subgrant awards information. Use when you need to list subgrant awards with optional filters such as recipient name, fiscal year, or program.

Why this helps

Funding research can branch into many details, making it easy to lose track of which programs or recipients you meant to investigate.

  • Start award research from a program note in chat.
  • Retrieve subgrant context using a recipient or fiscal year clue.
  • Make it easier to return to a funding research thread later.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Highergov to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it conversationally.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Highergov subgrant awards when you send a program, recipient, or fiscal year question.
  • 4Choose Telegram New Message Received and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a recipient or funding program you are researching.

Questions about this workflow
