Fireflies to Telegram: Action Item Alerts
Every call has action items buried in the transcript. Notis finds them and alerts the right people in Telegram before the call is even done playing.

Why this helps
You hold a call, it's transcribed, but critical follow-ups get lost in chat noise or forgotten because you didn't write them down during the meeting. Your ADHD team members especially struggle to synthesize audio into next-step tasks.
- No manual task hunting after calls
- Assignees see their action items in real-time
- Reduced dropped balls and re-meetings
- Written record for neurodivergent accountability
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Fireflies and Telegram to Notis.
- 2In Telegram or the portal, tell Notis: 'Extract action items from new transcripts and alert assignees here.' Notis learns your phrasing for assignments (e.g., 'I'll handle X' or 'Sarah owns the budget review').
- 3Set the trigger to 'Transcription Complete.'
- 4Notis posts a Telegram message listing each action item with the owner.
- 5Test: record a call where you clearly assign 2-3 tasks, then verify the Telegram alert lands with correct names and tasks.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who owns what action item?
Notis reads names and pronouns from the transcript. If speaker A says 'I'll do X,' Notis attributes it to A. Train Notis by correcting the first few if needed—it learns your team's style quickly.
What if someone verbally assigned a task but didn't say their own name?
Notis looks for context clues (pronouns, earlier names). If it's ambiguous, the alert includes uncertainty—e.g., 'possibly Jamie' so you can clarify. You control the tone: ask for strict or lenient matching.
Can I filter for only high-priority tasks?
Absolutely. Tell Notis to alert for only critical items, or to flag certain keywords like 'must,' 'urgent,' or 'deadline'—whatever your team uses.
