Create Asana Tasks with Telegram Button Clicks
Sometimes the friction is just typing. One button tap on Telegram creates a fully structured task in Asana, getting your action tracked without any typing at all.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
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
Your AI agent or bot sends you options via Telegram buttons, but turning a decision into a tracked task requires typing in Asana or copying text. By the time you're done, you've lost momentum.
- Zero-typing task creation from a button press
- Ideal for quick approvals, routing, or routing decisions
- Works with AI bots and chatbots that use inline buttons
- Reduces activation energy for capturing action items
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram bot and Asana to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I click a button on Telegram, create a corresponding task in Asana.'
- 3Set your trigger to 'Callback Query Received' (button press).
- 4Define what each button label should turn into (e.g., 'Approve' button creates task titled 'Approved Item').
- 5Test by having your bot send a message with buttons and click one to see the task appear in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work with any Telegram bot?
Yes, as long as the bot sends messages with inline buttons (callback buttons). This is standard for most AI bots and chatbots.
Can different buttons create tasks in different projects?
Yes. Configure the automation to route based on the button label: 'Urgent' could go to your urgent project, 'Design' to your design project, etc.
What if I accidentally click a button?
Tasks get created in Asana. If you need to undo, delete the task in Asana. For critical workflows, set up confirmation buttons.
