Convert Telegram Messages into Linear Issues
Stop retyping ideas. When your team shares a task or idea in Telegram, it automatically becomes a trackable issue in Linear. Notis handles the capture so you don't have to context-switch.
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 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
Great ideas and urgent tasks get buried in Telegram. You forget to create the corresponding Linear issue, or the context is lost by the time you get around to it.
- Never forget to create an issue when someone mentions a task
- Reduce time switching between Telegram and Linear
- Keep all work tracked in one system
- Automatic capture means less manual admin work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram bot and Linear workspace to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Tell Notis your automation: 'When I receive a message in Telegram, create a Linear issue with that message as the description.'
- 3Notis will ask you to pick the trigger (New Message Received) and choose a Telegram group or private chat.
- 4Select the Slack or email channel where you want Notis to report each automation run.
- 5Test by sending a sample message in Telegram and verify the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
Will every single message create an issue?
By default, yes. You can refine this in conversation with Notis by asking to exclude certain message patterns or limit to specific Telegram groups.
Can I set the Linear project or team automatically?
Yes. Tell Notis which Linear project or team to use, and it will apply that to every issue created by this automation.
What if a message has multiple topics?
Notis creates one issue per message. For complex messages, you can manually split them in Linear afterward, or refine your automation to only trigger on messages with specific keywords.
