Why this helps
Welcoming new people consistently can be easy to forget while managing a busy group and other work.
- Make group welcomes more consistent.
- Find a relevant passage without pausing to research one.
- Give new members a thoughtful point of connection.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Api bible to Notis once through the portal, and add the bot to the group.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Use one prompt: When a new member joins the Telegram group, search Api bible for a welcoming verse and share the result in my run-report channel.
- 4Select New Chat Member as the trigger and choose the report channel.
- 5Test with a test account joining the group, where appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Can this post directly into the group?
Describe where the result should go in the prompt and select a run-report channel. The exact delivery depends on the configured reporting channel.
Will it run when the bot itself joins?
The event includes when the bot is added, so make the prompt specific about welcoming human members.
