Unblock Kaggle setup with a config path lookup
Send a short Telegram request when you need the full config path, and Notis can retrieve it for the next setup step.
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
Get Kaggle Config Path
Tool to retrieve local Kaggle API configuration file path. Use when you need to know the location of the Kaggle config before operations.
Why this helps
Setup stalls when a path is needed and the person doing the work has to search across directories.
- Get the full configuration path in response to a direct request.
- Reduce filesystem hunting during a setup task.
- Preserve the answer alongside the troubleshooting context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Kaggle to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation for returning the Kaggle config path when requested in Telegram.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to provide the local configuration path.
- 4Choose Telegram new message as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test by requesting the path from the Telegram chat.
Questions about this workflow
Is the path the same as the config directory?
The path action returns the local configuration file path, while the directory action returns its containing directory.
Does this modify configuration?
No. It only retrieves the path.
