Why Connect Telegram & Shortcut?

Read what you need from Telegram

Your agent uses Telegram's documented actions to pull the records it needs, each time it runs.

Run a Shortcut action

Then it uses one of 4 documented actions, such as Create Story, List Label IDs Options, List Workflow State ID Options.

Test it, then put it on a schedule

Run it once on your own data and check the result. Then set it to run daily, on weekdays or weekly.
