Ensure announcements reach your whole team
When leadership or the team posts announcements in Slack, they automatically forward to Telegram. Nobody misses important news.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Forward Message
Forward messages of any kind. service messages can't be forwarded.
Why this helps
You post an important announcement in Slack, but half the team doesn't see it because they don't check Slack regularly. Now you're repeating yourself.
- Ensures critical announcements reach people even if they ignore Slack
- Reduces your mental load of repeating announcements across channels
- Centralizes team communication instead of scattering it
- Gives announcements a better chance of being read and acted on
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Telegram integrations in Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Forward announcements from the leadership Slack channel to our main Telegram group.'
- 3Select 'Channel Message Received' as the trigger.
- 4Choose a high-visibility Telegram channel (e.g., #announcements or company-wide group).
- 5Have someone post a test announcement in Slack and verify it appears in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which messages are announcements?
By default, messages from specific channels (like #announcements or #news). You can also ask Notis to look for keywords like 'ANNOUNCEMENT' or 'IMPORTANT'.
Can I add context or commentary?
Yes. Ask Notis to add a header or footer to Telegram messages, like 'Posted by [name] in Slack' or a link to the original.
What if the message is too long for Telegram?
Notis will truncate it and add a link to the full message in Slack.
