  • Start a verse search when you need one.
  • Keep the search phrase under your control.
  • Receive the matching results in the run report channel you choose.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Api bible once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Api bible for the phrase or topic supplied with the request.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real search phrase.
