Convert Telegram Button Clicks into Tracked Action Items
Telegram buttons just became trackable. When your bot gets a button tap, Notis logs it as a timestamped record in Google Drive so you have a complete audit trail.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Inline button actions in Telegram bots vanish without a trace; you can't track who approved what or when decisions were made.
- Complete record of every decision and approval
- Timestamp and user info automatically captured
- No manual logging or data entry needed
- Searchable audit trail for compliance or retrospectives
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up your Telegram bot in BotFather and connect it to Notis.
- 2Link Google Drive to Notis if not already connected.
- 3Create an automation: 'When someone clicks a button in my Telegram bot, create a record in Google Drive with their name, the button they clicked, and the timestamp.'
- 4Name it 'Button Action Log' and set Telegram Callback as the trigger.
- 5Deploy your bot and test by clicking a button; verify the record appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Can I log different buttons differently (e.g., approvals vs. feedback)?
Yes. In your Notis prompt, specify what context to capture for each button type. Notis will create separate records or group them as you prefer.
What if my bot is in multiple channels or groups?
Notis tracks button clicks across all instances and can organize them by source if needed.
Does this slow down the bot?
No. Notis logs asynchronously, so button responses stay instant while archiving happens in the background.
