Keep stated deadlines from getting lost
When a Slack message names a real deadline, get a Telegram reminder with the deliverable and date exactly as stated.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Dates mentioned in conversation can be forgotten when they never become a separate reminder.
- Keep dates connected to the work they belong to
- Reduce reliance on remembering a passing message
- Review deadlines without revisiting the channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to message Telegram when a Slack channel message states a concrete deadline, retaining the date and deliverable without guessing.
- 4Pick Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real message containing a deadline.
