Why this helps
After choosing to compare stores, people can lose momentum if the lookup requires a separate search.
- Make a store-search decision lead to retailer results.
- Reduce the steps between a location discussion and useful options.
- Use a quick Telegram interaction to move planning forward.

- 1Connect Telegram and Instacart to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, explain that tapping the lookup button should find nearby Instacart retailers for the relevant postal code and country code.
- 4Pick Callback Query Received and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Tap a real lookup button in a location conversation and review the results.
