Let a clear completion note close the loop
Report a completed task in Telegram and have Notis update the corresponding Basecamp to-do.
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
Complete To-Do
Tool to mark a to-do as completed in Basecamp. Use when you need to complete a to-do item.
Why this helps
Updating a tracker after finishing work creates one more admin step, so open tasks can linger.
- Reflect finished work in the project tracker.
- Close the loop while the completion context is fresh.
- Spend less time revisiting tasks that are already done.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Basecamp to Notis once and ensure the relevant to-dos are available.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis to complete a Basecamp to-do after an explicit Telegram completion report.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction specifying what counts as finished and how to identify the matching to-do; select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for reports and test with one clear completion note.
Questions about this workflow
Will a message saying 'started' complete the task?
Specify that only an explicit report of finished work should trigger completion.
How does Notis find the to-do?
Describe the matching context in the instruction, such as the task name or project details present in the message.
