Action

Get Sections

Tool to retrieve a list of sections for a specific book in a bible version. use after obtaining the bible and book ids to view sectional breakdown.

Why this helps

Breaking a book into manageable sections takes research that can derail a planned study session.

  • Get a useful sectional breakdown for a requested book.
  • Make it easier to plan a focused reading session.
  • Keep the requested translation in view.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Api bible to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it with a plain-language request.
  • 3Use one prompt: When a Telegram message requests the sections of a Bible book, identify the intended book and version, obtain the relevant IDs through Api bible as needed, retrieve its sections, and share them in my run-report channel.
  • 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose the reporting channel.
  • 5Test with a book and version that are available in Api bible.

Questions about this workflow

What information should the request include?

Name the book and, if relevant, the Bible version. Notis can use Api bible's available information to obtain the IDs required by the sections action.

Does this retrieve the full passage text?

No. It retrieves the section list. Use a passage search or section-detail workflow for content.
