Turn Telegram channel links into a Knack library
When a helpful resource is shared, Notis can save its context in your Knack database.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Create object record
Tool to create a new record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to add new data to a Knack database object. Requires object-based API key authentication.
Why this helps
Useful links disappear into channel history and are hard to find when you need them.
- Keep useful references in one searchable database.
- Preserve context around a shared resource.
- Spend less time scrolling back through a channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Knack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set up a resource capture.
- 3Write one prompt describing which channel posts should create a Knack resource record.
- 4Select New Channel Post and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real resource post while the bot is a channel administrator.
