Label GitHub Issues Directly from Telegram
Something just became urgent. Instead of context-switching to GitHub to add the 'urgent' label, you type in Telegram and it's done. Your issue is visible to the team with the right priority.
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 labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
Manual label management in GitHub breaks async workflows. Neurodivergent founders struggle with remembering to tag issues, leading to lost priorities and duplicated work.
- Label issues in seconds from Telegram—no UI navigation required
- Priorities stay synchronized across your team without manual effort
- Prevents issues from being mislabeled due to forgotten steps
- Async-friendly workflow that fits neurodivergent work patterns
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I send a Telegram message mentioning an issue number and a priority like urgent, blocked, or in-progress, add that label to the GitHub issue.'
- 3Select Telegram (New Message) and pick your Notis notification channel.
- 4Test by sending a message like 'Issue #42 urgent' in Telegram and confirm the label appears on GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
Can I create custom labels?
Yes. Any labels already created in your GitHub repo can be used. If you mention a new label, Notis will create it automatically.
What if I want to add multiple labels at once?
List them in your message: 'Issue #42 urgent, blocked, needs-review' and Notis adds all of them.
Can I remove labels with this workflow?
Currently this adds labels. For removing labels, create a separate automation or manage them directly in GitHub.

Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
