Track Task Delegations from Telegram to Linear
Delegations happen in conversation. Notis listens for delegation language in Telegram ('John, can you handle X?') and automatically creates a Linear issue assigned to John so nothing falls through the cracks.
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
You delegate work in Telegram but the person you're assigning to forgets or misses it. The task never gets into their queue, and it falls through the cracks. Delegations are unreliable and fuzzy.
- Delegated work is automatically tracked in Linear with clear ownership
- The assigned person knows immediately they have a task
- No relying on people to remember or check Telegram for delegations
- Clear accountability and visibility for who owns what
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I delegate a task to someone in Telegram, create a Linear issue and assign it to them automatically.'
- 3Notis will learn your delegation language (e.g., '@John, can you handle X?') or you can define keywords.
- 4Confirm the Linear team and where notifications should go.
- 5Test by delegating a task to a team member in Telegram and verify the Linear issue appears assigned to them.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who to assign the task to?
You can use name mentions (@John), and Notis maps them to Linear users. Or tell Notis your delegation format upfront.
What if I delegate to someone not on the Linear workspace?
Notis will ask you to clarify. You can map external names to Linear users, or leave it unassigned for manual triage.
Can I set priority based on how the task is phrased?
Yes. Urgent language like 'ASAP' can trigger high priority automatically.
