Why this helps
Food needs can get pushed aside during focused work, then interrupt the day when supplies run low.
- Plan food during a convenient moment instead of mid-task.
- Keep needed groceries together in a shareable list.
- Reduce extra decisions during a packed workday.

- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to turn Telegram workday food plans into Instacart shopping lists.
- 4Select New Message Received and set the run report channel.
- 5Send a real food plan and check the shopping list Notis creates.
