Turn channel research leads into a scan
A channel post can kick off the next research step. Notis reads the new post and starts the Apify Actor you specified for its public source or topic.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Run Actor Asynchronously
Tool to run a specific actor asynchronously. use when you need to trigger an actor run without waiting for completion and retrieve its run details immediately.
Why this helps
Research links posted to team channels can be overlooked when action depends on someone remembering to start the scan.
- Make channel research leads actionable as they arrive.
- Reduce manual handoffs from discovery to data collection.
- Start a consistent scan for sources your Actor supports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Apify to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language what the post should trigger.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to run the specified Apify Actor using the source or topic in each new channel post.
- 4Select New Channel Post and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a channel post containing an Actor-supported public URL or topic.
Questions about this workflow
Can the bot read any channel?
The bot needs to be an administrator in the channel where the post is published.
Does it scan every source in the post?
Your instruction should describe which public source or topic to use; the Actor determines supported inputs.
