Resolve small team choices with less back and forth
When Slack asks the team to choose between clear process options, send a Telegram poll and let people 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
Small operational choices can consume attention when replies arrive across multiple threads.
- Collect preferences in one place
- Reduce long reply threads for simple choices
- Move small decisions forward with less effort

- 5Test with a real Slack post asking the team to choose between options.
