Keep Hacker News research aligned with edited messages
A quick edit can sharpen a question or correct a term. Have Notis search again from the revised message so the research follows your actual intent.

Why this helps
Research based on an early, imprecise message can send you down the wrong trail after you have already clarified the question.
- Use the corrected wording as the basis for research.
- Reduce follow-up messages needed to clarify a request.
- Keep investigations tied to the latest version of a thought.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Hackernews to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to make one conversationally.
- 3Prompt Notis to search Hacker News using the updated text whenever a relevant Telegram message is edited, then return a concise summary.
- 4Select Telegram Message Edited as the trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test by sending a research request and editing it to clarify the topic.
Questions about this workflow
Will edits trigger a fresh search?
The selected Telegram event is Message Edited. Tell Notis in the prompt what kinds of edited messages should lead to a new search.
Why use an edit instead of another message?
It lets you update the original wording while keeping the request and its context together.
