Yes. The Telegram trigger lets you choose which kind of update to watch, such as a new message or a button press, and the agent can check the text or look up the sender's membership in the chat before creating the note in CRUSH. ### ### What can happen in Telegram when a note is captured in CRUSH? CRUSH returns the note transcript and the date it was created, and the agent can use that to send a message, a poll, a photo, a video, a document or a location to a chat. It can also edit a message it sent earlier if you want one running summary. ### ### What can start an automation from CRUSH? Any of CRUSH's 1 trigger in the catalog, including Receive Note. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Telegram when something happens in CRUSH? Any of Telegram's 14 actions, including Get Chat Member, Send Message, Send Poll and Send Chat Action. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Telegram to CRUSH? Yes. When something happens in Telegram, your agent can act in CRUSH too. This page covers both directions: Telegram's triggers and CRUSH's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for CRUSH or Telegram? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use CRUSH and Telegram without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
