Create calendar events with natural language from Telegram
Speak like a human in Telegram, not like a database. Tell Notis 'coffee with Alex on Friday 2pm' and the event is automatically on your calendar.
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
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Executive dysfunction makes multi-step processes feel insurmountable. Filling in event forms, choosing fields, and formatting dates feels overwhelming—especially when you're already juggling context across apps.
- One-sentence event creation: just type naturally and Notis handles the parsing
- No form-filling or field-mapping—Notis understands dates, times, and titles from casual language
- Lower friction means more events actually make it onto your calendar
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram bot and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Parse natural language messages I send you and create calendar events from them.'
- 3Select 'New Message Received' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your Telegram channel for event text.
- 5Send a message like 'dentist appointment wednesday 3pm' and watch it land on your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis handle different date formats?
Yes. Write 'next Friday', '2024-07-15', 'tomorrow 2pm', or 'March 3rd at noon'—Notis parses them all.
Can it create recurring events?
The natural language parser handles simple recurring patterns like 'every Tuesday' or 'weekly,' but complex recurrence rules are better set after creation.
What if Notis misinterprets my message?
Notis shows you a draft before creating the event, so you can edit or confirm. Or write clearer event descriptions like 'EVENT: team sync tuesday 10am.'
