Get an Archive.org research brief each week
Put recurring archive research on a schedule so useful material reaches your team without another reminder to search.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Recurring research gets dropped when it depends on someone remembering to repeat the same search.
- Make a recurring research request easier to keep up with.
- Put results and source links in a familiar chat.
- Ask Notis to focus the brief on results relevant to your stated goal.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Archive.org and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, describe the recurring Archive.org search and ask Notis to send a concise Telegram brief with relevant links.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the brief explains its search focus.
Questions about this workflow
Can the brief compare against previous runs?
Only if prior results or a comparison baseline are available to the automation. Otherwise, ask for a summary of the current search results.
Can I change the search focus later?
You can update the automation instruction to describe the research focus you want.
