Why this helps
Reminders live in Telegram or in your head, but your actual calendar in Google Sheets stays out of sync, creating invisible conflicts and dropped tasks.
- Single source of truth for your schedule
- Reminders trigger automatic logging
- Reduces context-switching between apps
- Easier to spot overbooked days
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with this prompt: 'When I send a message starting with REMINDER, add it to my time-blocking sheet with an estimated duration and today's date.'
- 3Set 'Telegram - New Message' as the trigger and pick your personal DM or a dedicated channel.
- 4Post a test reminder message (e.g., 'REMINDER: Client call with budget review') and confirm it appears in your time-block tracker.
Questions about this workflow
Can I include estimated duration in the reminder?
Yes. Your message can include duration hints like '2h' or '30min' and Notis will extract and log them automatically.
Does this replace my Google Calendar?
This feeds into your Google Sheets time-block tracker specifically, which is great for visibility and custom scheduling logic alongside your calendar.
Can I set this up for multiple Telegram channels?
Yes. You can create separate automations for different channels (work, personal, project-specific) each feeding the same sheet.
