Bring Telegram discussion context into a Ceramic search
Use recent chat context to make a web search more focused, then return a concise source-linked synthesis to Telegram.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Updates

Why this helps
A research request can lose its original context when you have to restate the discussion before searching.
- Use the recent discussion to frame a more relevant query.
- Keep public web findings connected to the question that prompted them.
- Return the result to the chat for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation with Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: retrieve relevant recent Telegram updates, use their topic to search Ceramic, and send a concise synthesis with public source links to Telegram.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and specify the chat and research context in the request.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with a chat that has relevant discussion.
Questions about this workflow
Does Telegram Get Updates guarantee full chat history?
The listed action receives incoming updates using long polling with specific parameters for historical messages. Do not assume it provides unlimited history.
Can the workflow search without chat context?
Yes. Include a clear topic in the webhook request if the relevant chat updates do not contain enough context.
Will it read every chat?
The workflow should use only the chat context identified in its request and available to the connected bot.
