Notis

Resolve a word question as the Telegram message changes

If an edited message marks a word for review, Notis can retrieve its dictionary entry from the updated text.

Trigger

Message Edited

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

Action

Get Word Definition V2

Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.

Why this helps

A terminology question can emerge during revisions, when the original conversation has already moved on.

  • Catch a word question introduced during an edit.
  • Keep terminology review connected to the revised message.
  • Look up a specific term without restarting the conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Dictionary api to Notis once via the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to look up only the word explicitly marked in an edited Telegram message.
  • 3Select Telegram Message Edited as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test by editing a bot-visible message to flag a test word.

Questions about this workflow

Will every edit trigger a useful lookup?

Set the prompt to act only when the edited message clearly flags a word for a definition.

Can the bot see any edited message?

The bot must be able to see the chat and message for the event to reach the workflow.
