Pick your next Google Task with a one-tap Telegram poll
Staring at a long list and deciding what to do first can freeze a whole morning. Notis reads your top open Google Tasks and sends them as a Telegram poll, so starting becomes a single tap instead of an internal debate.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Choosing the first task from a full Google Tasks list can stall you for far longer than actually doing it would.
- Replace what-should-I-do-first paralysis with one tap
- Externalize the decision so your brain can save energy for the work
- Keep a light daily record of what you chose to prioritize
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Telegram to Notis from the portal.
- 2Open your portal link and create a New Automation.
- 3Write the prompt: every morning, take my top open Google Tasks and send them as a Telegram poll asking which to do first.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select the Telegram chat for the poll.
- 5Test the send and refine how many tasks appear using plain language.
Questions about this workflow
How many options are in the poll?
You set that in the prompt, for example the top three or five open tasks, and Notis builds the poll accordingly.
Does voting change anything in Google Tasks?
The poll is a decision aid in Telegram. It helps you choose without editing your task list unless you ask Notis to.
