Give new projects a consistent kickoff starting point
Start from a proven structure instead of rebuilding the same document every time.
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
Copy Google Document
Tool to create a copy of an existing google document. use this to duplicate a document, for example, when using an existing document as a template. the copied document will have a default title (e.g., 'copy of [original title]') if no new title is provided, and will be placed in the user's root google drive folder.
Why this helps
A new project can begin informally in chat and lack the shared context needed for a smooth first step.
- Creates a consistent place for goals and scope.
- Reduces setup effort for recurring project work.
- Makes the first handoff easier to find.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Docs to Notis once in the portal and identify the kickoff template document.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation in plain language or through the portal.
- 3In one instruction, ask it to copy the named template when a clear kickoff request arrives and title the copy with the project name from the message.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real kickoff request and verify the copied document title and template.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need a template document first?
Yes. The automation should reference an existing Google Docs document that serves as the kickoff template.
Will it fill in project details?
The instruction can ask Notis to add details that are stated in the message, while leaving other template prompts intact.
