Organize Task Updates from Telegram into Google Drive Project Folders
Task finished? Notis moves the project file from 'In Progress' to 'Complete' in Google Drive. Status updates in Telegram trigger folder organization automatically.
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
Move File
Tool to move a file from one folder to another in google drive. use when you need to reorganize files by changing their parent folder(s).
Why this helps
Files stay in 'In Progress' folders even when work is done. Telegram updates are never reflected in Drive, so your folder structure becomes stale.
- Drive structure stays in sync with actual project status
- No manual file moving or folder cleanup
- Easy to see what's truly in progress vs. complete
- Reduces cognitive load around organization
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Task Status Organizer'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When someone posts in Telegram that a task is done (look for keywords like completed, done, shipped, merged, reviewed), find the related file in Google Drive and move it to the Complete folder. If unsure which file, ask the person.'
- 4Set the trigger to New Message Received.
- 5Test by posting 'Task: Landing page redesign - DONE' and checking if the file moves in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which file to move?
Look for file names or projects mentioned in the Telegram message. You can also include a file link or ID in your message for clarity.
What if the status is unclear?
Notis can ask for clarification in Telegram before moving the file.
Can I move files between multiple folder structures?
Yes. Define your folder hierarchy (e.g., Backlog > In Progress > Review > Complete) and Notis will move files appropriately.
