Make group terminology easier for new members to follow
Pair a newcomer welcome with a way to look up a specific unfamiliar word they identify.
Trigger

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 new group member can hesitate to ask about terminology while trying to catch up with the conversation.
- Offer a low-friction way to clarify a named word.
- Help new members follow group discussions sooner.
- Keep vocabulary support close to the welcome flow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Dictionary api to Notis in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to look up a word if a new-member message explicitly asks for its meaning.
- 3Choose Telegram New Chat Member as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a new-member event followed by a message naming one word.
Questions about this workflow
Can a member's join event identify a word?
The join event itself identifies a new member, not a vocabulary term. The prompt should only look up a word when one is explicitly provided in a relevant message.
Does this automatically welcome the member?
The available action retrieves dictionary information; it does not send a welcome message.
