Sync Asynchronously Without Meetings
Every Monday morning, Telegram asks your team how the week looks. They vote on blockers, capacity, and priorities. You read responses when you have time, make decisions faster.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Weekly sync meetings block 30 minutes of everyone's time for a meeting that could have been a poll. Three time zones mean someone's at 5 AM. Nothing gets decided in real-time anyway.
- Eliminate weekly sync meetings without losing communication
- Get clearer, more thoughtful responses when people respond asynchronously
- Respect distributed team schedules and time zones
- Reduce meeting fatigue while increasing communication quality

- 4Select 'Schedule' and set for Monday 9 AM.
- 5Test by triggering the poll manually, then share one link with your team to see how responses appear.
