Create a searchable archive of Telegram channel posts
Every post to your Telegram channel becomes a searchable record in Airtable. Your entire broadcast history, permanently organized, instantly findable.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
List records
Retrieves records from an airtable table, with options for filtering, sorting, pagination, and specifying returned fields.
Why this helps
Telegram's search is limited and history scrolls away. Neurodivergent founders can't find past announcements. A searchable Airtable archive removes this pain.
- Permanent, searchable archive of announcements
- Find past posts instantly
- Keep team history organized
- Compliance and audit trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Make Notis an admin in your announcement channel.
- 2Connect Telegram and Airtable to Notis.
- 3Create an automation: 'When I post to my announcement channel, create a searchable record in Airtable with the post content, timestamp, and any attachments.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'New Channel Post' and select your channel.
- 5Post a test announcement and verify it appears in Airtable with full details.
Questions about this workflow
Will media and links be included?
Yes. Notis captures image URLs, links, and file references so you can access them from the Airtable record.
Can I search by topic or keyword?
Yes. Airtable's built-in search works on all fields, or you can add tags/categories that Notis extracts from posts.
Is this a backup in case Telegram deletes posts?
Yes. Airtable is your permanent record. If Telegram deletes a channel, your records remain in Airtable.
