Gather Issue Decisions via Telegram Polls
When an issue needs a team decision, a Telegram poll is faster than starting a conversation thread. This automation creates polls based on issue updates, letting everyone vote instantly.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
You write a message asking for a decision, teammates reply with different takes, the thread explodes, and you still don't have clear consensus. Then you have to manually synthesize the votes.
- Faster decisions without discussion threads
- Clear vote aggregation
- Reduced async friction
- Keep focus in channels
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Telegram to Notis via the portal.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a certain issue status is set to 'Needs Decision', send a Telegram poll asking the team to vote on the resolution options.'
- 3Select Jira's 'Updated Issue' trigger and your team channel.
- 4Test by creating an issue and updating it to the 'Needs Decision' status.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what the voting options are?
You describe the options in your automation prompt. Notis uses the issue title, labels, or custom criteria to formulate the poll question.
Can I collect poll results back into Jira?
Notis can log the poll results as a comment on the issue for tracking, or you can manually reference them. Future versions will support automatic result sync.
What if the team is split and there's no clear winner?
Telegram polls show the vote count in real-time. Tie-breaking decisions still require human judgment, but at least the voting data is visible.
