Forget calling status meetings. Send a weekly Telegram broadcast summarizing team priorities and progress so everyone stays aligned without meetings.

Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Weekly status meetings are a time drain, and asynchronous founders struggle to stay aligned. An automated weekly status broadcast in Telegram keeps the team informed without the meeting overhead.
- Keep the team aligned on priorities without meetings
- Send status updates asynchronously so everyone can review at their own pace
- Reduce meeting fatigue by replacing meetings with automated broadcasts
- Ensure no one misses critical team updates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Send a weekly team status broadcast to Telegram every Monday at 9 AM'.
- 3Define what content the status broadcast should include (team goals, weekly priorities, progress highlights).
- 4Set the trigger: Notis Cron (weekly at your preferred time).
- 5Choose the Telegram channel to receive the weekly broadcast.
- 6Test by triggering the automation manually to preview the format before the scheduled time.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the content of each weekly broadcast?
Yes. Tell Notis what to include: 'Focus on project milestones', 'Highlight team wins', or 'List upcoming deadlines'.
Can different team members contribute to the weekly status?
Yes. Notis can pull status updates from multiple sources (shared docs, feedback from team members) and combine them into one broadcast.
What if I need to skip a week or adjust the schedule?
You can pause the automation anytime or change the schedule in your Notis settings. One-off adjustments are simple.

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.
