Track Telegram Channel Announcements as Linear Issues
When your team publishes an announcement or update to a Telegram channel, Notis instantly creates a Linear issue. Every broadcast becomes a trackable item without extra steps.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Channel announcements are ephemeral. Important company updates, feature announcements, or roadmap changes get posted to Telegram but never tracked in your work system. You end up managing announcements manually.
- Every channel announcement automatically becomes a work item you can track
- Announcements stay visible in Linear where your team already manages work
- No manual issue creation for each announcement
- Audit trail of all company broadcasts in one system
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram bot as an admin to the channel and link Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new post is published to my Telegram channel, create a Linear issue with the post content.'
- 3Confirm the Telegram channel and which Linear project issues should go into.
- 4Select a notification channel (Slack, email, or Telegram) for run reports.
- 5Post a test announcement to your Telegram channel and verify the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to make my bot an admin in the channel?
Yes. Your Telegram bot needs admin rights to receive channel post events. This is a one-time setup in BotFather.
Will attachments in the channel post get copied to Linear?
Notis captures the text content. To include attachments, you can ask Notis to also attach the original Telegram post as a link or file.
Can I filter posts by keywords?
Yes. Ask Notis to only trigger on posts containing specific keywords, like announcements starting with 'UPDATE:' or 'ROADMAP:'.
