Why this helps
Shared incoming tasks can sit while everyone assumes someone else will decide what happens next.
- Invite a quick shared triage response in Telegram.
- Make the incoming task visible to the team.
- Keep early coordination lightweight.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to post a poll when a new shared task arrives.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction describing the task and a small set of suitable triage choices.
- 4Select Todoist New Task Created and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Create a real task and confirm the poll options make sense for the team.
Questions about this workflow
Is a poll appropriate for every new task?
This setup works best when new tasks routinely need a quick team decision. If not, ask Notis to send a message instead.
Can the poll assign the task automatically?
The listed Telegram poll action posts a poll; it does not assign a Todoist task.
