Update a nutrition lookup when a Telegram note changes

Correct a meal description in Telegram and let Notis retrieve nutrition details from the revised note, without starting over in another app.

Trigger

Message Edited

Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.

Action

Extract Nutrition Information

Tool to extract nutrition information from text query. use when you need to parse food-related text (e.g., recipes, menus) to calculate corresponding nutrition data.

Why this helps

When a food note changes, repeating the entire lookup elsewhere makes small corrections feel like extra admin.

  • Use an edited message as the updated food query.
  • Keep corrections with the original Telegram note.
  • Avoid manually repeating a nutrition search after clarifying a meal.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Api ninjas to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation conversationally with Notis or from Automations then New Automation.
  • 3Write one plain-language prompt to retrieve nutrition information when a Telegram message describing food is edited, using its revised text.
  • 4Choose Message Edited as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by editing a meal description visible to your bot.

Questions about this workflow

Will any edited Telegram message start a lookup?

The automation trigger is a message edit. The prompt should limit the nutrition lookup to edits that describe food.

Does it update an external food log?

No. This workflow retrieves nutrition information and reports it; it does not update a separate log.
