Supernotes has the ability to integrate with the messaging app Telegram in order to provide an easy way to quickly add notes to your Supernotes collection throughout the day.
Getting started is super easy!
Download Telegram
Go to the Integrations page within your Supernotes account
Click "Telegram bot"
After that, you should be automatically authenticated within Telegram. Now when you send messages to the Supernotes Bot on Telegram, these messages will automatically be added as cards in Supernotes.
All cards created by the Telegram bot will have the #telegram tag added to them to ensure they are easy to find and organize later.
Modes
There are two modes: "new" and "daily".
"new" will create a new card every time you send a message to the Telegram chat, doing its best to create a useful title for you.
"daily" will append whatever messages you send to the bot to the same card throughout the day. At the start of a new day, the first message you send to the bot will be used to create a new card, with that day's date as the title.
Naming
When your card creation mode is set to "daily", Supernotes always creates a daily card for you with the name of that card being the relevant date.
However, if your mode is set to "new", then a new card is created each time and it can be given a title!
There are two naming options: "auto" and "none".
"auto" will send the content of your message to OpenAI's service, which will automatically attempt to create a relevant title based on the contents of the message.
"none" will avoid this, and instead just create any new cards as untitled.
Set a Parent
You can set a Parent Card for all cards created by the Telegram bot, which can be great if you want to take full advantage of the Supernotes hierarchy system.
Just run the parent command while specifying the ID of the card you'd like to be the parent. You can get the card ID of any card on Supernotes by right-clicking (or long-pressing on mobile) the card and selecting Copy > ID of Card. Then just paste it into the Telegram command like so:
/parent ab9266f5-c95f-4b14-840f-1e26f0daefee
From then on, any cards created from the Telegram integration will have that card set as a parent.
