Capture Urgent Telegram Messages as Slack Reminders
When you receive a critical message in Telegram, instantly create a Slack reminder so you never lose track of what matters most.
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 a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Important Telegram messages get buried in the conversation flow, and manually copying them to Slack is an extra step that rarely happens. Critical tasks get missed.
- Urgent Telegram items appear in Slack where you review your day
- Reduces context-switching between platforms
- Eliminates manual copy-paste to remember critical items
- Reminders keep you accountable without extra thinking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Slack to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Create a new automation in the portal and set the trigger to 'New Message Received' in your Telegram bot.
- 3Describe the automation: 'Create a Slack reminder whenever I send a message with [keyword] or mention this automation'.
- 4Select your Slack reminder channel and test with one real urgent message.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter which Telegram messages become reminders?
Yes. In the plain-language prompt, you can specify keywords, sender, or conversation patterns. Notis will only create reminders for messages matching your criteria.
When will the Slack reminder notify me?
You control the timing when you create the automation. You can set it to trigger immediately, or schedule it for a specific time like 'tomorrow morning' or 'in 1 hour'.
Can I set different reminder times for different types of messages?
Yes. Create separate automations with different prompts: one for urgent items (remind immediately) and one for routine tasks (remind daily).
