Keep Telegram bot commands in sync with your Google Tasks lists
A bot command menu that lists projects you finished months ago is friction, not help. On a schedule Notis refreshes your Telegram bot commands to match your live Google Tasks lists, so the quick actions always reflect what you are actually working on.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Set Bot Commands
Use this method to change the list of the bot's commands. see https://core.telegram.org/bots#commands for more details about bot commands.
Why this helps
Static bot command menus drift out of date, so the shortcuts you reach for no longer match your real projects.
- Keep bot shortcuts aligned with the projects you actually have
- Remove stale commands that clutter the menu
- Let your Telegram bot stay useful without manual upkeep

- 3Describe it: on a schedule, update my Telegram bot commands to match my current Google Tasks lists.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and pick the Telegram bot to update.
