Why this helps
A project can lose momentum when creating its organizational home becomes another separate task.
- Give newly approved work a place to live right away.
- Reduce the gap between a decision and its first setup step.
- Keep the project name grounded in the original conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Basin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis to create a Basin project when a Telegram request asks to start one.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction describing how to identify a project-start request and create the project with its requested name.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Post one genuine project-start request and verify the project appears in Basin.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ask for a project by name in Telegram?
Yes. Include the project name in the message and explain the intended behavior in the automation instruction.
Will this create a project for every message?
The instruction should tell Notis which messages count as explicit project-start requests.
