Keep all your Slack direct messages in one searchable place
Every Slack DM you receive instantly syncs to Telegram. No more hunting through old conversations.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Valuable feedback and action items in Slack DMs vanish into the scroll. You can't search Slack effectively, so critical information gets forgotten.
- Turns Slack DMs into a permanent, findable record
- Reduces anxiety about forgetting customer or team feedback
- Simplifies onboarding by keeping all feedback centralized
- Removes the mental burden of 'I know someone told me this but where'
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Telegram integrations in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with this instruction: 'Every Slack DM that reaches me should also go to my Telegram channel so I have a backup.'
- 3Select 'Direct Message Received' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your Telegram archive channel as the action destination.
- 5Send yourself a test DM in Slack and verify it appears in Telegram within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will sensitive DMs be exposed in Telegram?
Telegram messages can be private too. Set your Telegram destination to a private channel or direct chat with yourself.
Can I exclude certain people's DMs?
Ask Notis to filter by sender, so only DMs from specific people (e.g., customers, leadership) forward to Telegram.
What if a DM includes a file?
Notis will include the file in the Telegram message if it's a supported format.
