Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Switching between WhatsApp and Telegram constantly drains focus and causes messages to be missed.
- Never miss a message across platforms
- Eliminate app-switching overhead
- Keep conversations consolidated
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Telegram to Notis (one-time setup via portal)
- 2Ask Notis: 'Forward important WhatsApp messages to my Telegram channel'
- 3Select the 'New Message Received' trigger from WhatsApp
- 4Choose Telegram as the destination channel for automation reports
- 5Test by sending a message to your WhatsApp Business number and verify it appears in Telegram
Questions about this workflow
Will ALL WhatsApp messages be forwarded?
By default yes, but Notis can filter by sender, keywords, or message type. Just describe your preference when setting up.
What about media files?
Text forwards instantly. For photos, documents, and other media, use the separate 'Media Sync' workflow instead.
Can I format messages differently in Telegram?
Notis handles the plain-language instruction. If you want timestamps, sender info, or custom formatting, just mention it in your automation prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Telegram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Telegram actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
