Give each new research collection a home
When a research project begins, ask Notis to create its Apify dataset so there is a dedicated place for collected results.
Trigger
New Message Received

Action
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.
Why this helps
Starting collection without a clear destination leads to scattered outputs and decisions about storage later.
- Create a named results destination at project kickoff.
- Give future collection runs a consistent place to write data.
- Reduce setup decisions before research can begin.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Apify to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create a dataset using the project name you provide.
- 4Pick New Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by requesting a dataset for a clearly named test project.
Questions about this workflow
Does this collect data too?
