Create Telegram Polls from External Triggers
When your tools need team input, use a webhook to create a Telegram poll instantly. Gather feedback without switching apps.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
You need quick decisions from your team but manually creating polls is friction. Team input gets delayed because polling isn't automated.
- Automate poll creation from external systems
- Gather team input instantly without friction
- Make decisions faster with visible consensus
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram to Notis (one-time, via portal).
- 2Create an automation with: 'When a Notis webhook receives a poll request, create a native Telegram poll with the provided question and options.'
- 3Select 'notis_webhook' as the trigger type.
- 4Configure Telegram as the destination.
- 5Notis will provide a webhook URL. Send POST requests with JSON containing question and options array to trigger poll creation.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook payload look like?
Include fields like 'question' (string) and 'options' (array of strings). Notis will parse and create the poll.
Can I set a poll timeout?
Telegram polls have default timings. Notis can note in the poll description when responses are needed.
How do I see poll results?
Results are visible in Telegram in real time. Notis can also log results for auditing if your integration needs records.
