- Get a quick reminder of the thread's context before reading again.
- Reduce the steps between remembering and following up.
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 ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch the Hacker News item associated with the tapped button's reference and return a short recap.
- 4Choose Telegram Callback Query Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by tapping a bot button linked to one known Hacker News item.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which item to fetch?
The button needs to carry or identify the item reference, and the prompt should explain how Notis should use it.
Can I use one button for several items?
Set up a button per item or describe the reference your button provides so Notis can select the intended item.
