Create Asana Projects from Telegram Messages
A new initiative is decided in Telegram, and instead of manually setting up a project in Asana, you just message Notis the details and Asana is ready to go.
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 project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Why this helps
You identify a new project on Telegram, but creating the structure in Asana (team setup, sections, naming) takes energy and you delay doing it. Days pass and work starts getting tracked informally.
- New projects created in Asana instantly
- Standard sections and structure applied automatically
- Team members added based on project type or keywords
- Eliminates friction from project setup delays
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Asana to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I send a message on Telegram like, Create a project called X, create it in Asana with standard sections and team.'
- 3Set your trigger to 'New Message Received'.
- 4Define your project template: standard sections, default team, access rules.
- 5Test by sending Notis a message like 'Create project: Q4 Campaign' and verify it appears in Asana with full structure.
Questions about this workflow
What sections get created by default?
You can define the template: common setups include 'Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Review, Done' or context-specific sections.
Can I customize the project based on keywords?
Yes. If you say 'Create Design project', it could include design-specific sections and add design team members automatically.
Will the project be public or private?
You define this in setup. Default can be team-scoped, and the automation can apply visibility rules based on project name or type.
