Why this helps

Useful scripture references in one Telegram conversation can be difficult to bring into the group where they are needed.

  • Move an existing relevant Telegram message into a study chat.
  • Use Api bible to support the passage lookup for the request.
  • Reduce manual searching for the original message.

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.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction and supply the passage request, source message, and destination chat.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message and verify the forward destination.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a new message?

Can every Telegram message be forwarded?

Telegram notes that service messages cannot be forwarded, and forwarding has other platform limitations.
