To start integrating Telegram messages into your Notion database, access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate workflows seamlessly without coding. Begin by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in or signing up for a free account.

After signing in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create new workflows by clicking the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow according to your objective, such as ‘Add Telegram Channel Messages in Notion Database,’ and select a folder to save it.

2. Setting Up Trigger with Telegram

In this step, you will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect using Telegram. Select the Telegram Bot as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Message’. This event will activate every time a new message is posted in your Telegram channel.

• Open Pabbly Connect and select Telegram Bot as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New Message’ to trigger the workflow.
• Connect your Telegram account by adding a bot token.

To get the token, create a new bot using the BotFather in Telegram. After generating the token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and save the connection. This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for new messages from your Telegram channel.

3. Creating a Telegram Channel

Next, you need to create a Telegram channel to receive messages. This step is crucial for the integration to work. Click on the pencil icon in Telegram and select ‘New Channel’. Name your channel appropriately, such as ‘Telegram Notion Integration’.

Once the channel is created, add members to it, including the bot you just created. Ensure that you promote the bot to an admin to allow it to read messages. After setting up the channel, return to Pabbly Connect to test the connection.

4. Setting Up Action with Notion

Now, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send the Telegram messages to Notion. Select Notion as the action application and choose the event ‘Create Database Item’. This action will create a new entry in your Notion database whenever a new message is received in Telegram.

• Choose Notion as the action application in Pabbly Connect.
• Select ‘Create Database Item’ as the action event.
• Connect your Notion account and allow access to the database.

In the Notion setup, select the database where you want to store the messages. Map the fields from Telegram, such as message content and chat ID, to the corresponding fields in Notion. After mapping the fields, save the workflow.

5. Testing the Integration

Finally, test your integration to ensure that messages from Telegram are correctly added to your Notion database. Send a test message in your Telegram channel. Go back to Pabbly Connect and check if the message details appear in the response section.

If the test is successful, you will see the message content reflected in your Notion database. This confirms that the integration is working as intended. You can continue testing by sending more messages to see real-time updates in your Notion database.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, integrating Telegram with Notion is straightforward and efficient. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can automate the process of adding Telegram messages to your Notion database, enhancing your workflow.
