Keep notes in Telegram, stored in Baserow
Send /note to save something word for word in Baserow, and /find to read your notes back in the same chat.
What it does
Each integration step this workflow runs, in order, what it is for, and the conditions and loops that decide when it runs.

How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
Whenever a message arrives in your Telegram chat, it is checked to see whether it starts with /note or /find. Send /note followed by anything you want to remember and it is kept in a Baserow table exactly as you typed it. Send /find on its own to read back your most recent notes, or /find with a word to see every note containing it, all in the same chat.
Nothing is rewritten, summarised or tagged on the way in or out, and no AI reads your notes at any point: what you send is exactly what is stored and exactly what comes back. A note that could not be saved, or a lookup that failed, is reported in the chat rather than silently lost. Long notes are shortened when listed but kept in full in the table, and a reply lists only the latest few and says how many were left out. Any other command gets a short reminder of the two that work.
Before the first run you need a Telegram bot, a private chat with it, and a Baserow table with three text columns named 'Note', 'From' and 'Saved'.
