Locate one matching record quickly
Ask Notis to find a record by a clear description or filter, then get the first useful match back in Telegram.
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
Find Object
Tool to find the first object matching a query or filter in an index. use when debugging relevance or filter logic after confirming index exists.
Why this helps
A quick record lookup can expand into a distracting search session across tools and tabs.
- Get to a likely matching object with less navigation.
- Keep routine lookups inside Telegram.
- Use a focused search when you need one record rather than a broad result list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Algolia to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one prompt, ask Notis to find the first match only when the message identifies a confirmed index and a usable query or filter.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one known record and compare the match to the expected result.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a regular search?
Find Object retrieves the first object matching a query or filter, making it useful for a focused lookup.
What if there are several possible matches?
Ask Notis to return the first match and indicate uncertainty when the request is ambiguous.
