Why this helps
A team shares an idea or announcement, but nobody has time to check whether the Hacker News community is discussing related topics.
- Turn an existing channel post into a timely research cue.
- See which frontpage stories connect to the shared subject.
- Keep the update and its research follow-up together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Hackernews to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language what the channel post should prompt.
- 3Ask Notis to fetch the Hacker News frontpage after a new channel post and summarize stories related to the post's topic.
- 4Select Telegram New Channel Post as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by publishing one relevant post in a channel where the bot is an administrator.
