Give open questions a research home
When a question deserves more than a quick reply, send it to your bot. Notis opens a Coda doc for the investigation.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Create doc
Creates a new coda doc, optionally copying an existing doc. note that creating a doc requires you to be a doc maker in the applicable workspace (or be auto-promoted to one).
Why this helps
Interesting questions arrive during the day but rarely fit the task you are currently doing.
- Save questions for a dedicated research session.
- Start each investigation with its prompt in view.
- Avoid leaving current work just to set up a document.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Coda to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis to create a Coda doc for research questions sent in Telegram.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to say which questions qualify and how to title their docs.
- 4Choose the New Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Send a test research question and confirm the corresponding doc is created.
Questions about this workflow
Can I send a short question without extra background?
Yes. The question itself can be the starting point; add context when you are ready to investigate.
Can the doc title be based on my question?
Include that preference in your plain-language instruction to Notis.
