Share a Bible verse with an image in Telegram

Pair a requested verse with an image you provide or prepare, then deliver both in the Telegram chat.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Send Photo

Send photos to a telegram chat using the bot api.

Why this helps

A passage and its visual companion can end up in separate places when sharing takes several manual steps.

  • Keep a visual scripture share with its passage reference.
  • Send a photo to the Telegram chat through a single workflow.
  • Avoid manually coordinating lookup and image sharing.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Api bible and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to look up the supplied verse and send the verse reference with the image you provide or specify.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one verse and a real image.

Questions about this workflow

Can the image include the verse text?

Use an image that already contains the text or ask Notis to prepare one if the available workflow supports it, then test the result.

What triggers the share?
