Instant Escalation of Urgent Document Comments

Action

Why this helps
Important comments on Google Docs get buried in long comment threads and are missed. Escalating critical feedback to Telegram ensures urgent comments reach decision-makers instantly.
- Escalate urgent comments to Telegram for immediate visibility
- Ensure critical feedback doesn't get lost in long comment threads
- Route high-priority comments directly to decision-makers
- Reduce response time to urgent feedback by making it visible in Telegram
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When someone leaves a comment with urgent keywords on a Google Doc, forward it to our decision-maker channel in Telegram'.
- 3Define which comments qualify as urgent (e.g., comments containing 'ASAP', 'urgent', or from certain team members).
- 4Set the trigger: Google Docs/Sheets/Slides Comment Added event.
- 5Choose the Telegram channel for escalated comments.
- 6Test by adding a comment with an urgent keyword and verify it's forwarded to Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
How do I define which comments get escalated?
Tell Notis your criteria in plain language: 'Comments with URGENT or CRITICAL', 'Comments from the CEO', or 'Comments on the roadmap doc'.
Does the forwarded message include the full comment and context?
Yes. Notis includes the comment text, commenter name, document name, and a link back to the Doc so readers can jump to the context.
What if I want to block notifications from certain commenters?
Customize the automation to exclude specific people. For example: 'Forward comments from everyone except the contractor'.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Telegram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Telegram actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Answer Callback Query
Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards. the answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Delete Message
Delete a message, including service messages, with certain limitations.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Edit Message
Edit text messages sent by the bot.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Export Chat Invite Link
Generate a new primary invite link for a chat; any previously generated primary link is revoked. the bot must be an administrator in the chat for this to work and must have the appropriate administrator rights.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Forward Message
Forward messages of any kind. service messages can't be forwarded.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Chat Info
Get up to date information about the chat (current name of the user for one-on-one conversations, current username of a user, group or channel, etc.).
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Get Chat Administrators
Get a list of administrators in a chat. on success, returns an array of chatmember objects that contains information about all chat administrators except other bots.
Get Chat History
Get chat history messages. note: this uses the getupdates method with specific parameters to retrieve historical messages.
