Turn one Telegram message into multiple Airtable records
List items in a Telegram message and Notis parses it into separate Airtable records. A single message, multiple records, zero manual work.
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
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
Why this helps
Batch intake (shipping a list of items, capturing multiple ideas, logging feedback) requires either copy-pasting or using a form. Both interrupt focus.
- Parse one message into many records
- Capture brainstorms, lists, and feedback in bulk
- No copy-paste or manual field entry needed
- Save time on data entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Airtable integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I send a special formatted message in Telegram (like a bulleted list), create multiple records in Airtable from that list.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'New Message Received' and describe the format (bullets, numbers, or a specific delimiter).
- 4Send a test message with multiple items and Notis will create a separate record for each.
- 5Refine the parsing rule if needed and you're done.
Questions about this workflow
What formats can Notis parse?
Bullets, numbered lists, comma-separated values, or any consistent format you describe. Just show Notis an example and it learns the pattern.
Can different fields be extracted from each item?
Yes. If each item has a title and priority, Notis can split those into separate Airtable fields.
What if the list is malformed?
Notis will do its best to parse it, but you can define a format rule (like '- item name [priority]') for consistency.
