Make team choices easier to answer

When Slack presents a clear set of options, put the question into a Telegram poll your team can answer quickly.

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 Poll

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

Why this helps

Open decisions can linger when people miss a question or postpone writing a reply.

  • Make a defined choice easy to answer
  • Give the team one clear place to respond
  • Reduce repeated follow-up messages

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally for this outcome.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create a Telegram poll only when a Slack channel message contains a clear question and answer options.
  • 4Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real Slack post containing a question and options.

Questions about this workflow

What if a Slack message has no options?

Tell Notis in the instruction to skip messages without clear poll choices.

Can the poll include the original context?

Ask Notis to include a short context summary in the poll question when useful.
