Set up document collections from a quick chat request
When a new category needs its own collection, make the request in Telegram and let Notis handle the Affinda setup step.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Create Collection
Tool to create a new collection. use after you have a valid workspace id and want to group documents by a specific extractor within that workspace.
Why this helps
A new document stream can stay disorganized while you put off the separate collection setup task.
- Give a new document category a dedicated home.
- Reduce postponement of organization setup.
- Keep related files easier to group as intake grows.

- 3Write one plain-language instruction identifying when to create a collection and the relevant workspace and extractor context.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a collection request for a valid workspace and confirm it in Affinda.
