Keep client requests from disappearing in chat
A client request does not have to become another thing you remember to copy later. Notis can use a Telegram message to create a Harvest task when the task details and project are clear.
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 Task
Tool to create a new task. use after identifying task details to register it in harvest.
Why this helps
A useful request arrives in chat, then disappears beneath newer messages before it becomes trackable work.
- Create a trackable task close to the moment a request arrives.
- Reduce manual copying from chat into Harvest.
- Clarify ambiguous scope or project before adding work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Harvest to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Start a new automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to create one.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to create a Harvest task for clear client requests and ask about unclear project or task details.
- 4Choose Telegram's New Message Received trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real request and verify the task appears under the correct Harvest project.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Telegram message become a task?
No. The instruction should describe which messages count as actionable client requests and ask for clarification when the intent is uncertain.
What if I do not know the Harvest project?
Tell Notis to resolve the project with you before creating the task.
