Route Telegram Messages to Asana Project Sections
Tasks arrive in Telegram, but sorting them into the right Asana section takes extra clicks. Notis does the sorting automatically based on what you say.
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
Add task to section
Adds an existing task to a section, optionally positioning it before or after another task in that section; if no position is specified, the task is added to the end.
Why this helps
You capture a task in Telegram, but it lands in Asana's default section. Now you have to manually move it to 'To Do' or 'In Progress' or whatever section it belongs in. Extra friction kills momentum.
- Tasks land in the correct section automatically
- Eliminates manual sorting and organization
- Maintains project structure without extra effort
- Keeps Asana organized as work comes in via Telegram
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Asana to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I send a message on Telegram labeled urgent, create a task in Asana's Urgent section; for regular items, use Backlog.'
- 3Set your trigger to 'New Message Received'.
- 4Define section names in your Asana project and how to route based on message content or keywords.
- 5Test by sending Notis both an urgent and regular message and verify they land in the right sections.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which section to use?
You describe it in plain language: 'If the message contains urgent, put it in Urgent; otherwise put it in Backlog.' Notis interprets and routes accordingly.
Can this work with multiple projects?
Yes. Set up the automation to route by project name or emoji in your message: '@asana-design' goes to Design, '@asana-ops' to Operations.
What if a task needs to move sections later?
Notis only routes on creation. Move tasks between sections manually in Asana as work progresses.
