New member joins Telegram. Notis creates an onboarding record. As they complete setup steps, their Airtable record updates automatically. Onboarding pipeline hands-free.
Trigger
New Chat Member

Action
Update record
Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.
Why this helps
Onboarding requires manual progress tracking. Neurodivergent founders lose track of who's done what. Automating this removes the mental load of remembering.
- Onboarding records created and updated automatically
- Track progress without manual entry
- Consistent onboarding experience
- Build an audit trail of member journey
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Make Notis a member of your Telegram group and configure permissions.
- 2Connect Telegram and Airtable to Notis.
- 3Create an automation: 'When a new member joins, create an onboarding record. As they complete steps in Telegram (like reacting to a welcome message), update their record in Airtable.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'New Chat Member' and describe the onboarding steps (e.g., read rules, introduce yourself, complete profile).
- 5Have a test member join and complete steps. Their Airtable record updates automatically.
Questions about this workflow

Can I send reminders if someone stalls?

What if someone doesn't complete onboarding?
Notis marks them as 'incomplete' in Airtable. You can set up a separate workflow to follow up or remove inactive members.
