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.

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.
