Telegram References Trigger Notion Backups
When someone links a Notion page in Telegram, Notis automatically duplicates it as a backup. Protect your most-discussed pages from accidental deletion.
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
Duplicate page
Duplicates a notion page, including all its content, properties, and nested blocks, under a specified parent page or workspace.
Why this helps
Important pages get deleted by accident. You need a safety mechanism that preserves critical pages when they're being actively discussed.
- Automatic backups of discussed pages
- Protection against accidental deletion
- Version history without manual work
- Recovery is one click away
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Notion to Notis.
- 2Create a folder in Notion called 'Page Backups'.
- 3Create an automation with prompt: 'When someone sends a message in Telegram containing a link to a Notion page, duplicate that page to my Page Backups folder with today's date in the name.'
- 4Select 'New Message Received' and configure your channel.
- 5Share a Notion page link in Telegram and watch Notis duplicate it to Backups.
Questions about this workflow
How often can the same page be backed up?
Each mention creates a new backup with a timestamp. You can clean up old versions periodically or set Notis to only backup if 24 hours have passed.
Does this include nested pages?
Yes. Duplication copies the entire page structure, including all child pages and content.
What if I don't want to backup everything?
Refine your prompt to only backup pages with certain keywords or from certain channels. Keep backups focused on truly critical pages.

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.
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
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
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.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
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.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
