Capture staffing requests from Telegram
When someone asks for time on a project in Telegram, let Notis put the request into Hub Planner for approval.
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 Booking
Tool to create a new booking for a resource on a project in Hub Planner. Supports scheduled bookings, booking requests (WAITING_FOR_APPROVAL), and hourly bookings. Use when you need to allocate resources to projects with specific start/end dates and time commitments.
Why this helps
Staffing requests get buried in chat, leaving founders to remember who needs capacity and when.
- Keep capacity requests visible for review.
- Reduce manual follow-up about start and end dates.
- Create a consistent place for staffing decisions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Hub Planner to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or describe the desired outcome to Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Hub Planner booking request when a Telegram message clearly asks for a named resource to work on a project during a stated period.
- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real staffing request and review the resulting booking request.
Questions about this workflow
Will every message make a booking request?
The plain-language instruction should limit this to messages that clearly request a resource, project, and time period.
Does this approve the booking?
The action creates a booking request for review, so the request can follow the approval process.
