Capture Telegram Ideas as Asana Tasks
Your brain moves fast. Your tools shouldn't slow you down. Turn every thought into a tracked task the moment you message it to Notis.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
You're thinking about something, you Telegram yourself a note, then forget to log it in Asana. By the time you remember, you've lost context and momentum.
- Ideas captured instantly without switching apps
- Reduces cognitive load from managing multiple idea buckets
- Maintains context by logging thoughts in real time
- No missed tasks from forgotten Telegram notes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram and Asana accounts to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create a new automation in the Notis portal: name it 'Capture Telegram Ideas', set your prompt to something like 'When I send a message on Telegram, create a task in Asana with that text.'
- 3Choose 'New Message Received' as your Telegram trigger.
- 4Select a Telegram channel (private chat or group) where you'll send Notis ideas.
- 5Test by sending Notis a quick message and watch the task appear in Asana within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a task from every message in the group?
No. Set up a dedicated private chat with Notis or use a specific Telegram channel. Only messages sent to Notis trigger the automation.
Can I add more detail later?
Yes. Notis creates the task with your message as the title and description. Open it in Asana to add due dates, assignments, or subtasks.
What if I send multiple ideas in quick succession?
Each message creates its own task. If you want to batch ideas, send them as one message with line breaks.
