Start organized eBay research from a Telegram request
When a research plan arrives in chat, Notis can create a Countdown api collection so the work has a home.
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 a new collection
Tool to create a new collection. Use when you need to batch and orchestrate multiple requests on a schedule.
Why this helps
Research requests scattered across chat are easy to forget or leave unstructured.
- Give a research request a dedicated collection
- Reduce the steps between deciding and organizing research
- Keep collection creation tied to the original discussion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Countdown api to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Countdown api collection when you submit a research request in Telegram.
- 4Pick the new message trigger and a run-report channel; test by sending one real collection request.
Questions about this workflow
Will it start processing the collection too?
This workflow creates a collection. Starting processing is a separate action and should only be included if you explicitly want that behavior.
Can I give the collection a purpose?
Include the purpose in your Telegram request and prompt so Notis can use that context when creating it.
