Bring Telegram channel activity into your dashboard
Use a new channel post as the cue to add a useful content activity cell to an existing InfluxDB dashboard.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Add Dashboard Cell
Tool to add a cell to a dashboard. Use when you want to add or copy a cell to an existing dashboard after verifying the dashboard exists.
Why this helps
Useful activity views can be scattered, making it harder to check publishing status alongside other metrics.
- Bring a relevant content view into an existing dashboard.
- Reduce the effort of navigating between monitoring views.
- Keep publishing activity closer to operating metrics.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and InfluxDB Cloud to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Confirm the target dashboard already exists in InfluxDB Cloud.
- 3Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to add an appropriate content activity cell to that existing dashboard when a new post arrives.
- 4Select New Channel Post and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one post and verify the cell was added to the intended dashboard.
