Capture tasks from Telegram without leaving the chat
Every time you mention a task in Telegram, Notis creates it in Airtable. No tab-switching, no manual entry. You chat naturally, work gets tracked automatically.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often lose track of tasks mentioned casually in Telegram because switching to another app breaks their focus. By the time they remember to log it, the context is gone.
- Tasks captured in real-time without manual entry
- Stay in Telegram and reduce attention switching
- Never lose a task mentioned in conversation
- Keep your task database always up-to-date
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram account to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
- 2Connect your Airtable workspace to Notis (one-time setup).
- 3Create a new automation in Notis and tell it: 'When I send a message in Telegram, create a task record in Airtable with that message as the title.'
- 4Choose 'New Message Received' as the trigger and select the Telegram group or chat where you work.
- 5Test by sending a message in Telegram and verify the record appears in Airtable within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will every message create a task?
No. Tell Notis to only capture messages starting with a keyword like '/task' or '#todo', or just describe the rule in natural language and Notis will apply it intelligently.
Can I include details beyond the message text?
Yes. Notis can extract timestamps, sender info, and extract structured data (like due dates if you mention them) into separate Airtable fields.
What if I need to capture tasks from a group chat?
Enable Privacy Mode OFF in BotFather so the bot receives every message, then set the trigger to that group. Notis will capture messages from any member.
