Momentum Notifications for Unstuck Work
A task that was blocked moves to In Progress. Telegram celebrates the unblock. Small wins build momentum and team morale.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Blockers get resolved but there's no acknowledgment. Your team doesn't feel the momentum from getting unstuck. Progress feels invisible even when things are moving forward.
- Celebrate getting unstuck to build momentum and morale
- Make progress visible across the team
- Create positive reinforcement for problem-solving
- Keep team energy high by highlighting forward movement

- 3Instruction: 'When a task moves from Blocked to In Progress, send a Telegram message: We're unstuck! [task name] is moving forward'.
- 4Select 'Task Moved to Section' and filter from Blocked to In Progress.
- 5Test by moving a blocked task forward and confirming the celebration appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the celebration tone?
Yes. Ask for different messages: professional, playful, emoji-heavy, whatever fits your team culture.
Will this feel repetitive?
Only if blockers happen constantly. If that's the case, you might ask for a daily blocker digest instead of individual alerts.
Can I include who unblocked it?
Yes. Notis can include the person who moved the task or the person who resolved the blocker.
