Keep quick Telegram captures in one founder inbox
Drop a thought into chat and keep it in one place for your next review.
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 document
Creates a new google docs document using the provided title as filename and inserts the initial text at the beginning if non-empty, returning the document's id and metadata (excluding body content).
Why this helps
Quick captures scatter across chats, making it hard to remember which ideas or reminders still need attention.
- Collects incoming captures in a predictable place.
- Reduces the pressure to categorize a thought on the spot.
- Makes a later review easier than searching old messages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Docs to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis in plain language or by opening Automations and choosing New Automation.
- 3Give one instruction asking Notis to add each personal capture as a short dated entry in a named Google Docs inbox.
- 4Pick Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Send one real capture to the bot and confirm the document is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Can I keep the inbox focused on captures?
Yes. State in the plain-language instruction which messages count as captures, such as messages that begin with a phrase you choose.
Does this create a new document for every capture?
The instruction can ask Notis to use one existing inbox document. If it should create a separate document each time, say so explicitly.
