Get Instant RSVPs with Telegram Polls
You schedule a meeting and immediately a Telegram poll goes out to attendees: "Can you attend?" Responses come back within minutes instead of hours of email waiting.
Trigger
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
You send a meeting invite and wait to see who's coming. Responses trickle in over hours or days. You don't know if you have quorum until the last minute, and last-minute cancellations throw off the meeting.
- Get quick yes/no/maybe responses instead of waiting for email
- Know attendance status within minutes of scheduling
- Send reminders only to people who actually confirmed
- Reduce no-shows by having an explicit poll confirmation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: "When a new meeting is created, send a Telegram poll to attendees asking 'Can you make it?'"
- 3Select the trigger: "Event Created" from Google Calendar.
- 4Define poll options: "Yes," "Maybe," "No."
- 5Choose your team's Telegram group as the destination.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send to the Google Calendar attendees automatically?
Notis can parse the attendee list from the calendar event and send the poll to those people's Telegram accounts or groups.
What happens if someone votes but then sends an email RSVP?
You get both signals. Notis doesn't remove poll votes if they also respond to the calendar invite.
Can I add custom poll options?
Yes. Instead of just "Yes/No," you could ask "Which time works better: 2 or 3 PM?" in the poll.
