Auto-Create Project Folders from Telegram Discussion
Stop creating folders manually. When your team discusses a new project in Telegram, Notis creates a ready-to-use folder in Google Drive with subfolders for docs, assets, and specs.
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 folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
Projects scatter: discussion starts in Telegram, but nobody wants to manually create the folder structure, so files end up disorganized or lost.
- Folder structure is created before you need it
- Subfolders pre-set for common file types (docs, assets, notes)
- Team members find the right place to save immediately
- Reduces decision fatigue around 'where does this go?'
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'New Project Folder Creator'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When someone posts a message about a new project in Telegram (look for keywords like project, initiative, launch, or #project), create a Google Drive folder with the project name and subfolders for Docs, Assets, and Notes.'
- 4Set the trigger to New Message Received from Telegram.
- 5Test by posting 'New project: Q3 Rebrand' in Telegram and watch the folder appear in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know it's a new project and not just casual chat?
You teach Notis the signals—keywords, message patterns, or hashtags—in your automation prompt. It only triggers when it detects those.
Can I customize the subfolder structure?
Absolutely. Specify exactly which subfolders you want (e.g., Briefs, Timelines, Feedback, Deliverables) and Notis creates them.
What if the same project gets mentioned twice?
Notis is smart enough to detect duplicates and won't create two folders. If it does, you can configure it to merge or deduplicate.
