Make priority choices easier to settle

When a Slack reaction flags a priority discussion, give the team a Telegram poll with the concrete options stated in the message.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Send Poll

Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.

Why this helps

Teams can agree that work matters while remaining unclear about what should happen first.

  • Turn competing options into one clear vote
  • Keep priority discussion connected to its context
  • Reduce time spent revisiting unresolved ordering

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 tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
  • 3Use one instruction asking Notis to create a Telegram poll when a Slack message gets your chosen priority reaction and contains multiple concrete work options.
  • 4Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real priority discussion and the reaction your team uses.

Questions about this workflow

What if the message has only one option?

Ask Notis to skip the poll unless there are multiple clear choices to prioritize.

Does the poll replace the Slack discussion?

It offers a quick vote in Telegram while preserving the source context in the poll.
