Keep Telegram task status in sync with Slack reactions
When a Slack reaction is removed, the linked Telegram message updates instantly. Status changes stay synchronized without manual updates.
Trigger
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Edit Message
Edit text messages sent by the bot.
Why this helps
You use Slack reactions as status markers (done, blocked, in-progress), but when someone changes a reaction, your Telegram task list becomes stale and misleading.
- Keeps multiple platforms in sync automatically without mental overhead
- Reduces the need to manually update task status in multiple places
- Makes it obvious when a task's status changes
- Simplifies async work by removing ambiguity about what's done
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When someone removes a reaction from a Slack message, edit the linked Telegram message to show the new status.'
- 3Select 'Message Reaction Removed' as the trigger.
- 4Choose a Telegram channel where task statuses are tracked.
- 5Test by removing a reaction in Slack and watch the Telegram message update.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Telegram message to edit?
You pair Slack and Telegram automation on setup, or Notis uses message timestamps to match them.
Does this work for any type of reaction?
Yes. You can use specific emojis for specific statuses (e.g., checkmark for done, clock for in-progress).
Can I customize what the edited message says?
Yes. Ask Notis to write custom update messages based on which reaction was removed.
