Every step, in order
When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.
- A message is sent to the bot
- A message to the bot, within seconds. A bot sends its messages to one place: one workflow per bot, and no other tool may use the same bot’s updates. In a group, the bot sees only commands, replies and mentions unless privacy mode is off (BotFather).
- Add a database row
- A new page in a database, with its title set. Other properties are typed in Notion; set them there with defaults.
- Starts whenA message is sent to the botTelegram
- App stepAdd a database row
What each client fills in
- Notion: Database ID
- For example the 32 characters in the database URL
- Notion: Title column
- For example Name
The accounts it needs
Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.
In Telegram, message @BotFather → /newbot → copy the token. Add the bot to the client’s group, or have the client message it once.
notion.so/profile/integrations → New integration (Internal) in the client’s workspace → Capabilities: Read content, Insert content and Update content (the row update needs the last) → copy the secret. Then open the database → ••• → Connections → add the integration.
After you install it
It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:
- Connect the client’s Telegram, for “A message is sent to the bot”
- Connect the client’s Notion, for “Add a database row”
- Fill in Notion: Database ID (For example the 32 characters in the database URL)
- Fill in Notion: Title column (For example Name)
