Telegram and Notion, ready to switch on

New items in the Notion database you connect, and the property changes you name, arrive in the Telegram group you choose with a link straight to the page. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.

Paste the Telegram bot token and the Notion integration secret
- Telegram bot token: open @BotFather in Telegram and press Start. Full Telegram guide
- Notion integration secret: open notion.so/my-integrations, press New integration, choose Internal and give it a name. Full Notion guide
Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about six minutes for both.
We check both keys

Each key is checked against Telegram's and Notion's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
Create one test page, then we switch it on

A minute or two. Create a page in Notion and watch the post arrive in the chat. From then on we watch it for you. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.

When Telegram or Notion changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.

$39a month

Everything in the table above, with monitoring on.

Ask us to connect it

What it will cost once you can switch it on yourself. While we're in beta we connect it by hand and don't charge for it.

Before you decide

Can we create a page from a message?

Not in this one; it runs into the chat. If a message should become a page, describe it and we price it.

How do we keep it quiet?

Name the databases and the moves worth posting. Everything else stays on the board.

Group or private chat?

Either, and you can have both: a group for the database everyone follows, and a private message for the one that is only yours. Each person starts the bot once for private messages.

Can several people get the same messages?

In a group, yes, one message for everyone. For private messages each person starts the bot once and then gets their own copy. Running both at the same time is fine.

Which properties should we post?

Start with status and owner, since those are the two people ask about. Adding more later is a message to us, and adding all of them makes the chat unreadable by Thursday.

Anything to know about Telegram?

A bot can't read messages sent before it was added to a chat, so old conversations stay where they are.

Anything to know about Notion?

An integration only sees the pages and databases you have connected it to, so a database nobody shared with it stays invisible even to a valid key.

What if mine is a bit different?

Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
