Turn Telegram Discussions into Commented Google Docs
Long Telegram discussion about a decision or project? Notis converts the entire thread into a Google Doc with each person's input as comments, so the full context is preserved.
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 Comment
Tool to create a comment on a file. use when you need to add a new comment to a specific file in google drive.
Why this helps
Decisions get made in Telegram but never documented. Later, you forget the reasoning, and new team members have no context.
- Every person's input is captured and attributed
- Decisions are documented with full context
- Easy to revisit and build on past conversations
- Great for onboarding new team members
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Discussion Documenter'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a Telegram discussion thread gets long (10+ messages) or includes keywords like decision, proposal, review, or feedback, create a Google Doc with a summary and add each message as a comment thread showing who said what and when.'
- 4Set the trigger to New Message Received.
- 5Test by having a discussion in Telegram and checking if a Doc appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
How do I mark a discussion as important enough to document?
Notis can auto-detect long threads or you can tag a message #document to trigger the conversion.
Does this preserve Telegram usernames and avatars?
Yes, Notis captures user info. Avatars aren't embedded but usernames and timestamps are preserved in the Doc.
What if people object to being quoted in a Doc?
Notis can anonymize names or redact specific messages if needed. Discuss privacy expectations with your team first.
