Why this helps
A useful passage shared in a channel can get buried before anyone has time to look it up.
- Make shared references easier to follow up on.
- Keep a lookup connected to the original channel post.
- Reduce the chance that an interesting passage gets lost.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Api bible to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Make the bot an administrator in the relevant channel so it can see posts.
- 3Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language, describing the desired search response.
- 4Choose New Channel Post as the trigger, select a report channel, and test with a post containing a reference or topic.
- 5Ask Notis to search Api bible for relevant matches and share them in the run-report channel.
