Keep commitments attached to the work
Capture a concrete promise from Telegram as a step on the Basecamp card it belongs to.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Create Step in Card
Tool to create a step within a card in a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a subtask or checklist item to an existing card with optional due date and assignees.
Why this helps
Small promises made in conversation can be easy to forget when they are not tied to the project work.
- Attach commitments to the card they relate to.
- Make small next actions visible alongside the larger work.
- Reduce mental tracking of promises made in chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Basecamp to Notis once and make sure the relevant cards are available.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to record concrete Telegram commitments on Basecamp cards.
- 3Describe what counts as a commitment and how to match it to an existing card in one plain-language instruction; select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Pick a channel for run reports and test with a message that contains a clear commitment.
Questions about this workflow
Will every message become a card step?
The instruction can limit steps to explicit, concrete commitments relevant to existing work.
What if no matching card is clear?
Tell Notis how to handle uncertain matches instead of attaching a step to unrelated work.
