Add Comments to Linear Issues from Telegram Announcements
When announcements are posted to a Telegram channel, Notis automatically adds a comment to related Linear issues so the team sees updates where they work.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Important announcements are posted to Telegram channels but related work in Linear doesn't get updated. Team members miss the context and make decisions based on stale information.
- Team sees announcements in Linear where they're working
- Related issues automatically get updated with new information
- No information silos between Telegram and Linear
- Reduced chance of decisions made on stale information
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an announcement is posted to a Telegram channel, add it as a comment on related Linear issues.'
- 3Define which Telegram channels contain announcements and how to identify related issues.
- 4Confirm where Notis should post run notifications.
- 5Test by posting a sample announcement and verify comments appear on related issues.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which issues are related to an announcement?
You can define keywords, tags, or project associations. For example, announcements tagged with 'BACKEND' auto-comment on all backend issues.
Will team members be notified of the new comment?
Yes, they'll get Linear notifications for the comment just like any manual comment.
Can I reply to the Telegram announcement and have it update Linear?
Yes. Set up a separate automation for Telegram replies to also comment on Linear issues.
