Convert Telegram Button Clicks to Slack Task Reminders
When someone votes or chooses an option via a Telegram button, Notis creates a Slack reminder to act on the decision.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Telegram polls and decisions don't automatically become action items. Team members vote but then forget what they committed to.
- Voting decisions automatically become Slack reminders
- Clear audit trail of who voted for what
- Follow-up actions are tracked and visible
- Reduces need for manual task entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with trigger 'Callback Query Received' from your Telegram poll buttons.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When someone votes, create a Slack reminder for the team with their choice and next steps'.
- 4Test by voting in a Telegram poll and verifying the Slack reminder appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I create different reminders for different poll options?
Yes. Your automation can route to different Slack channels or create different task types based on the vote.
How do I set up Telegram polls with buttons?
Use the Telegram bot API to create inline keyboards with callback buttons. Notis will trigger when buttons are pressed.
What if no one votes?
Your automation can optionally create a follow-up reminder to prompt participation.
