Turn Urgent Telegram Messages into High-Priority Linear Tasks
When someone flags something urgent in Telegram, Notis immediately updates or creates a Linear issue with priority set to high. Critical work stays critical across tools.
Trigger
New Message Received
Action
Update issue
Update selected fields on an existing issue; each provided field is fully replaced.
Why this helps
Urgent messages in Telegram get lost among routine chatter. By the time you see them, the problem has compounded. You need a way to instantly signal priority without leaving Telegram.
- Urgent work gets flagged in Linear immediately, no manual escalation
- Your team knows which issues demand immediate attention
- Reduce the chance that critical tasks slip through the cracks
- Less time spent triaging and re-prioritizing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Linear to Notis in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When I send a message in Telegram that contains a priority keyword like URGENT or CRITICAL, set the Linear issue to high priority.'
- 3Notis will ask you to confirm the trigger (New Message Received) and which Telegram group to monitor.
- 4Choose where to receive run reports (Slack, email, or Telegram).
- 5Test by sending an urgent-flagged message and verify the Linear issue updates to high priority.
Questions about this workflow
What keywords trigger the priority escalation?
You define them. Common examples are URGENT, CRITICAL, BLOCKER, or ASAP. Notis can also trigger on emoji reactions like an exclamation mark.
Will this create a new issue or update existing ones?
By default, it creates a new issue with high priority. You can customize this in conversation with Notis.
Can I set other properties besides priority?
Yes. Tell Notis what else to set: due date, assignee, label, etc. It will apply all of them at creation time.
