Track new Telegram members in Airtable automatically
Someone joins your Telegram group. Notis instantly creates a record in Airtable. Your onboarding pipeline starts moving without you lifting a finger.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Onboarding requires manual intake steps. Each new team member creates a context switch. Neurodivergent founders need onboarding to be automatic or it won't happen consistently.
- Onboarding records created automatically
- Track every new member without forgetting
- Start onboarding workflows instantly
- Build an audit trail of team growth
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Make Notis a member of your Telegram group and give it appropriate permissions.
- 2Connect Telegram and Airtable to Notis.
- 3Create an automation: 'When a new member joins my Telegram group, create an onboarding record in Airtable with their Telegram user info.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'New Chat Member' and select the group.
- 5Have someone test-join the group and verify the Airtable record is created.
Questions about this workflow
Can I include the new member's name and info automatically?
Yes. Notis captures their Telegram username, user ID, and join timestamp automatically.
What if bots join the group?
Tell Notis to filter out bot accounts and only log human members.
Can I send a welcome message automatically?
Yes. Notis can reply with a custom welcome message in Telegram when someone joins, and create the Airtable record simultaneously.
