Keep GitHub Labels Synced with Edited Telegram Messages
You send a message labeling an issue as 'in-progress', but then realize it's actually 'blocked'. Edit your Telegram message and Notis updates the GitHub label instantly.
Trigger
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Action
Add labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
Corrections and updates in async communication often don't propagate to GitHub, leaving stale labels. Neurodivergent founders need async-friendly ways to correct information without manual fixes.
- GitHub labels stay accurate as your understanding evolves
- No need to manually correct or re-do labels in GitHub
- Edits propagate automatically—async-friendly workflow
- Reduces confusion from stale labels in your repo
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I edit a message in Telegram about a GitHub issue and mention a label, remove the old label and add the new one.'
- 3Select Telegram (Message Edited) as the trigger.
- 4Test by sending a message 'Issue #42 in-progress', then editing it to 'Issue #42 blocked' and verify the label changes.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to re-type the entire message to update a label?
No—just edit the label part and Notis updates GitHub accordingly.
What if I make a typo in the issue number?
Notis will ask for clarification in Telegram before making any changes.
Can I change multiple labels in one edit?
Yes—list all the new labels in your edited message and Notis applies them all.

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.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Star a repository for the authenticated user

New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
