Telegram New Members in Notion Comments
When new people join your Telegram group, Notis automatically comments in Notion with their arrival. Build an onboarding record that's always there.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
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).
Why this helps
Team members join Telegram groups but there's no structured onboarding or record. You need to track who joined when and make sure they're set up properly.
- Automatic welcome workflow for new members
- Onboarding checklist in Notion
- Complete member audit trail
- Never drop an onboarding ball again
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Create a Notion page called 'Team Onboarding'.
- 2Connect Telegram and Notion to Notis.
- 3Create an automation with prompt: 'When a new member joins one of my Telegram groups, create a comment on my Team Onboarding page with their name, join date, and a checklist: "Send welcome DM", "Add to Wiki", "Assign mentor", "First task setup".'
- 4Select 'New Chat Member' and configure your channel.
- 5Invite a test member to Telegram and verify they appear as a comment with checklist in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
Can I automate parts of the onboarding workflow?
Yes. Ask Notis to send a welcome DM to new members automatically while creating the Notion tracking comment.
How do I mark items on the checklist?
Edit the Notion comments manually to check items off as you complete them, or set up a separate automation for each step.
What if someone leaves?
Set up a separate automation for the 'member leaves' event (if available in Telegram) to log departures.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Telegram to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion actions
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 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.
