Log time in Harvest as soon as you remember it
Drop a short work-session note into Telegram. Notis can turn the details you provide into a Harvest time entry, so you do not have to reopen your workflow later to reconstruct your hours.
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 Time Entry
Tool to create a new time entry. use when logging hours for a project by specifying start/end times or duration.
Why this helps
A work session ends, context moves on, and the time never makes it into Harvest.
- Record hours while the work is still fresh.
- Avoid switching to Harvest just to log a session.
- Ask Notis to clarify missing project or duration details before creating an entry.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Harvest to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to create a Harvest time entry from Telegram work notes when project, task, date, and duration are clear.
- 4Choose Telegram's New Message Received trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with a real work note and check the resulting entry in Harvest.
Questions about this workflow
What should I include in my Telegram note?
Include the work date, duration or start and end times, and enough project or task context for Notis to identify the right Harvest record.
What if the project is unclear?
Tell the automation to ask you for clarification and wait before creating an entry.
