Auto-Create and Apply Asana Tags from Telegram Messages
You message a task idea with hashtags on Telegram, and Notis automatically creates or applies those tags to the Asana task. Instant organization with zero manual work.
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 tag in a workspace
Creates a new tag, with properties like name and color defined in the request body, within a specific asana workspace (using `workspace gid`); this tag helps categorize tasks, is confined to the workspace, and is not automatically applied to tasks.
Why this helps
You create tasks with hashtags on Telegram because tagging is easy and fast in chat. But the tags don't exist in Asana and you have to manually recreate them, so most tasks go untagged.
- Tags applied automatically as tasks are created
- New tags created on-the-fly if they don't exist
- Tasks organized by topic without extra steps
- Hashtags on Telegram translate seamlessly to Asana
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Asana to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I send a Telegram message with hashtags, create the task in Asana and apply those hashtags as tags.'
- 3Set your trigger to 'New Message Received'.
- 4Configure Asana tags to match Telegram hashtags or create a mapping (e.g., #urgent becomes 'Urgent' tag).
- 5Test by sending Notis a message like 'Quarterly review meeting #planning #urgent' and check the tags in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
What if a tag doesn't exist in Asana yet?
Notis will create it automatically. Tags are workspace-level, so they're available to the whole team once created.
Can I customize the color of auto-created tags?
Notis creates tags with default colors. You can edit them manually in Asana to customize if needed.
What if I use hashtags I don't want as tags?
Configure exclusions in setup: 'ignore #info or #fyi hashtags; only apply #urgent, #project-*, and #priority-*'.
