Add New Telegram Members as Asana Task Followers
New team members join your Telegram group and immediately miss all the context about ongoing tasks. This automation adds them as followers on relevant Asana tasks so they're instantly in the loop.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
Add Followers to Task
Tool to add followers to a task in asana. use this tool when you need to add one or more users as followers to a specific task. this will notify them of updates to the task.
Why this helps
You bring someone new into the Telegram group, but they have no idea about the work in progress. You have to manually add them to tasks in Asana or send them a big context dump in DMs.
- New members automatically see active tasks and updates
- No manual work to add people to followers lists
- Reduces onboarding friction and context gaps
- Keeps new team members informed from day one
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Asana to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new member joins my Telegram group, add them as a follower to all active tasks in my Asana project.'
- 3Set your trigger to 'New Chat Member'.
- 4Specify which Asana project or which specific tasks should include new members.
- 5Test by inviting someone to your Telegram group and checking Asana to confirm they appear as a follower on tasks.
Questions about this workflow
Will this add everyone who joins, including bots?
By default, yes for any user. If you want to exclude certain people or bots, set a rule in the automation setup.
Can this add members to different tasks based on their role?
Yes. If the Telegram group uses role markers or names that indicate expertise, Notis can route them to relevant project subsets.
What if someone is already a follower?
Asana prevents duplicates. Adding them again does nothing, so it's safe to run repeatedly.
