Is it possible for the bot to post to another chat group?

(Nick) #1

Hello, fellow users, I’m wondering if flow xo bot is able to post data to another chat group? What I’m trying to achieve here is to retrieve data from a google sheet after which posting that data to a chat group in telegram by the chat group ID. Appreciate your replies regarding this topic. Once again thanks!

Hi Nick,

Bots use response paths (a unique reference to the chat) to send messages and you’ll need to add the bot to the group as well. Our new conversation trigger would be great to use here because you’ll get the response path as soon as you add the bot to the group.

You could use the Attributes to store the response path. The great thing about attributes is that they can be used in any of your flows.

So if you then had another flow that was triggered by the Google Sheets new row trigger, you can get the response path from the attributes and send a message to the group.

You should be able to get up and running in no time but if you get stuck , just give us a shout :slight_smile:
