Send a search request in Telegram and let Notis fetch useful matches from your Algolia index.
Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Finding a record can mean leaving the conversation, opening a dashboard, and rebuilding your search context.
- Look up information without leaving the chat you are already using.
- Get a concise response to a natural-language search request.
- Reduce repeated dashboard visits for routine lookups.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe in one prompt how Telegram search requests should search a confirmed Algolia index and summarize matches.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real query and confirm the returned matches are useful.
