Why this helps
Looking up information requires switching apps. By the time you find it and come back, your focus is gone. Neurodivergent founders avoid lookups and make decisions with incomplete info.

- 3Set the trigger to 'New Message Received' and describe the format (e.g., 'user asks for record matching X field').
- 4Ask Notis for a record in your Telegram chat (e.g., 'Find the customer record for Acme Inc.').
- 5Notis replies with the record details instantly.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which table to search?
Describe the search rule in natural language and Notis will learn which table to look in based on context.
Can I get partial results or just summary info?
Yes. Notis can show just the fields you care about, or full record details, depending on what you ask for.
Is this secure for sensitive data?
Lookups work only in your private chat with Notis, not in public groups. Notis respects Airtable field permissions.
