In this use case, we want to get alerted to users who are facing technical difficulties that occur everyday. Here is a sample form below!

2. Click on 'Test step' button to see if Flow pulls in the right data. Data pulled in should be what you have just submitted.

2. If the test data pulled in from your FormKH submission has met the conditions, you’ll see a confirmation that the Pipe would have continued. If the test data pulled in from your FormKH submission has not met the conditions, you’ll see a confirmation that the Pipe would not have continued.

3. Action: Telegram

Set up a Telegram bot to alert you on urgent requests

Before you can set up your Telegram step, you would need to create a Telegram bot!

Setting up your pipe

Choose connection

1. Select the connection for your bot.

Set up action

1. Under the Chat ID field, select the chat you want to send a message to whenever an urgent submission comes in. If you are sending to a group or channel, ensure that you have added your bot to the chat.

Help! My chat does not appear in the dropdown list. This dropdown list shows chats with recent activity in the past 24 hours. If your chat is missing try the following:

For private messages, send your bot a message directly.

For group chats, ensure your bot has been added to the group. Next, either send a message in the group chat (only works if your bot has read permissions) or re-invite your bot to the group. For channels, ensure your bot has been added as an admin to the channel and send a message to the channel with your own telegram account.

Then, click on the refresh ↺ button on the right.

1. Type in the message you want to send in the Message text field.

2. Select if you would like to disable notifications.

3. Click Continue.

4. Then, click Test Step to verify that the message has been sent as you intended.
