Fireflies to Telegram: Decision Log Automation
Big decisions happen in calls. Notis reads the transcript, spots the decisions, and posts them to a Telegram decision log so no one forgets the reasoning or the date.
Trigger
Transcription Complete Trigger
Triggers when a transcription is complete. Polls Fireflies API for transcripts created or updated since the last poll time. Handles rate limiting gracefully.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Decisions get made in calls, but without written backup, team members misremember the rationale. Neurodivergent founders especially benefit from a written log they can refer to later to avoid re-arguing settled questions.
- Transparent decision history in one place
- Avoid re-litigating old decisions
- Written record reduces misalignment
- Neurodivergent team members have audit trail to reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Fireflies and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Extract all major decisions from transcripts and post them to my decision log channel in Telegram. Include the date and who made each decision.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Transcription Complete' and point it to a dedicated Telegram channel for decisions.
- 4Notis reads each transcript, identifies decisions (usually marked by phrases like 'we decided to,' 'we're going with,' etc.) and posts them.
- 5Test: in a call, make 1-2 clear decisions, let it transcribe, and verify they appear in the Telegram log with context.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what counts as a 'major' decision?
Notis looks for explicit decision markers ('we've decided,' 'this is final,' 'let's lock in'). You can also train Notis: after the first few, tell it to emphasize certain decision types or to ignore minor topics.
Can I tag decisions by category (e.g., product, financial)?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Add a product tag to decisions about our app, a finance tag for budget items,' etc. This makes the log easier to search and filter in Telegram.
What if we want to overturn a logged decision later?
Post a new message in the decision log channel saying 'Decision reversed' with the date and reason. Notis can help track reversals too if you ask it to flag them in your summary messages.
