Telegram Requests Create Notion Databases
Your team asks in Telegram: 'Hey, we need a database for X'. Notis creates it instantly in Notion with a pre-built schema, ready to use.
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 Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Why this helps
Database creation involves switching tools and defining schemas. Your team stays in Telegram but needs Notion structure to flow from it.
- Databases spin up instantly on request
- Team stays in Telegram, avoids context switching
- Consistent schema templates
- Scale database creation without manual overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Notion to Notis.
- 2In the Notis portal, create an automation with prompt: 'When someone in Telegram says "Create a database for [thing]", create a new Notion database with that name and a default schema of Name, Date, Status, Notes, and Owner.'
- 3Select 'New Message Received' and specify this runs only on messages containing 'Create a database'.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Send a test message in Telegram: 'Create a database for Project Ideas' and watch Notion create it automatically.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the database schema per request?
Yes. Ask Notis to parse the Telegram message for database name and ask the requester to specify columns needed, then Notis creates a custom schema.
Where does the new database go?
Specify a parent page in your prompt and Notis creates it there. Or ask Notis to create a new folder and put databases inside.
Can I pre-build templates?
Absolutely. Create template databases in Notion first, then ask Notis to duplicate them when requested. Instant, with pre-built content.

Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Add content to Notion page

Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
