Catch commitments in your Slack DMs
When a direct message gives you a clear next step, get a Telegram nudge that preserves the task and any stated due date.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Personal follow-ups can slip through when a DM arrives during focused work or between meetings.
- Capture a next step while the message is fresh
- Keep stated timing with the reminder
- Return to the work without holding it in working memory
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Telegram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Give one instruction to send a Telegram reminder only for DMs with a clear action for you, preserving any stated date or deadline.
- 4Select the Direct Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real DM that contains a follow-up.
Questions about this workflow
Will every DM become a reminder?
The instruction can limit reminders to DMs that contain a clear action for you.
