Auto-Find Onboarding Docs for New Telegram Members
Someone new joins your Telegram group? Notis instantly finds your onboarding docs in Google Drive and shares them with the new member so they can get up to speed.
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
Find folder
Tool to find a folder in google drive by its name and optionally a parent folder. use when you need to locate a specific folder to perform further actions like creating files in it or listing its contents.
Why this helps
New members join but don't know where to find onboarding materials; you end up repeating yourself or they figure it out slowly.
- New members can self-onboard without asking questions
- Reduces repetitive explanations for you
- Consistent onboarding experience for everyone
- New members feel guided and welcomed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Member Doc Finder'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a new member joins my Telegram group, search Google Drive for onboarding docs (e.g., Handbook, Team Guide, Getting Started) and send a Telegram message with links to the new member.'
- 4Set the trigger to New Chat Member.
- 5Test by inviting a new member and checking if they receive the links.
Questions about this workflow
What if I don't have onboarding docs yet?
Create a folder called 'Onboarding' with docs like Handbook, Tech Setup, and Culture Guide. Notis will find and share them.
Can I customize the message for different roles?
Yes. Notis can ask the new member their role and share role-specific docs accordingly.
What if the member is a bot or external user?
Notis can filter to exclude bots or limit sharing to internal team members only.
