Assignments Land in Their Preferred Channel
Assign a task to someone in Asana. They get a Telegram alert instantly. No email, no missed notification. They know they own it.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
You assign a task to someone. They don't see Asana for hours. They don't get the email notification. Three days later they learn they were assigned something. Timeline slips.
- Ensure assignments land where your team actually watches
- Build accountability by confirming task ownership is known
- Reduce timeline slips from missed assignments
- Support distributed teams across time zones
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation.
- 3Prompt: 'When someone assigns a task to a team member in Asana, send them a Telegram message: You were assigned [task name] in Asana'.
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as your trigger (the automation fires when someone else creates a task).
- 5Test by assigning a task to a colleague and confirming they get the Telegram alert.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create too many notifications?
Only when tasks are assigned. If you're creating dozens of tasks, this might be noisy. Ask Notis to filter by priority, project, or assignment type.
What if the assigned person doesn't have Telegram?
They need to connect Telegram to Notis first. Notis also supports Slack, WhatsApp, and email as fallback channels.
Can I add context to the notification?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the task description, due date, or any context fields when sending the alert.
