Telegram Messages to Notion Database
Turn unstructured Telegram chatter into structured data. Every message lands in a Notion database row you can sort, filter, and analyze.
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
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Telegram messages are scattered and unstructured. You need a way to log and categorize them without manual data entry.
- Structured record of every message
- Filter and sort by sender, timestamp, or content
- Reduces cognitive load from unstructured chat
- Creates searchable data you can query later
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Notion to Notis once.
- 2Create a Notion database with columns for Sender, Message, Timestamp, and Category.
- 3In the Notis portal, create an automation with prompt: 'When a new message arrives in Telegram, add a row to my Notion database with the sender name, message text, and current timestamp.'
- 4Select 'New Message Received' and set your notification channel.
- 5Send a test message and verify it appears as a database row in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
How do I set up the database columns?
Create your Notion database first with the properties you want (Sender, Message, Timestamp, Category, etc.). In your Notis prompt, just name the columns and Notis fills them automatically.
Can I auto-categorize messages?
Yes. In your automation prompt, ask Notis to categorize messages (e.g., 'if it contains a question mark, mark as Question'). Notis will intelligently tag each row.
What if the database is in a shared workspace?
As long as your Notion account has access, Notis can write to any database you've granted permission to. Perfect for team workflows.

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.
