Fast-track payment approvals and tracking
Request payment approval in Telegram, click a button, and the payment entry is instantly logged in your tracker with status 'Approved'.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Approvals happen in Telegram but aren't tracked. You end up with duplicate requests, lost track of who owes what, or missed invoice deadlines.
- Instant approval and logging—no copy-pasting
- Reduces payment processing time
- Clear audit trail of all approvals
- Fewer duplicate or missed invoices
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I click an Approve button in a Telegram payment request, add that payment to my tracker sheet with vendor, amount, date, and status set to Approved.'
- 3Use 'Telegram - Callback Query' as the trigger.
- 4Test by sending yourself a payment approval message with inline buttons and clicking Approve to verify the update in the sheet.
Questions about this workflow
Can I add custom approval statuses?
Yes. Set up buttons for Approve, Pending Review, Reject, Schedule for Later, etc.—whatever your workflow needs.
What if the payment amount is in the button text?
Notis can extract the amount from the message or button label and populate the sheet automatically.
Can I flag payments for specific handling (e.g., tax-deductible, recurring)?
Yes. Include tags or categories in your message, and Notis will organize them in the sheet for easy filtering and tax prep.
