Crowdsource New Task Direction
New task lands in Asana. Telegram sends your team a poll: Is this the right approach? Who should own it? What's the timeline? Answers come back in minutes.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
A task gets created. Someone asks how to approach it. Suddenly there's a meeting to discuss context no one has context for. You lose a day to alignment before work starts.
- Get team alignment on new work before it starts
- Avoid rework from unclear task definition
- Democratize decision-making without meetings
- Document team input for future reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation.
- 3Instruction: 'When a new task is created, send a Telegram poll to #team asking: Does this seem like the right priority? Options: Yes, No, Can discuss async, Need context'.
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as your trigger.
- 5Test by creating a task and confirming the poll appears in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
Will the task creator see the poll?
Yes, unless you customize it to exclude them.
Can I customize poll questions based on task properties?
Yes. Ask Notis to 'If the task is marked urgent, ask if it needs this week. If it's routine, ask about timeline flexibility'.
What if the poll disagrees with the task?
That's the value. You catch potential issues before work starts. Use it as input for a quick discussion, not as a veto.
