Action

Why this helps
Looking up etymology in a separate research session can pull attention away from the task that prompted the question.
- Add historical context to writing and research.
- Keep a word question attached to the conversation that raised it.
- Retrieve origin and meaning together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Dictionary api to Notis through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that fetches origin and meanings for the word explicitly named in a Telegram message.
- 3Choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and set a reporting channel.
- 4Test with a word whose origin you want to explore.
Questions about this workflow
Will every lookup include an origin?
The action can return origin information when it is available for the requested word.
Can I ask about one word in a longer message?
