Automatically Add Telegram Members to GitHub Teams
A new developer joins your Telegram channel. Notis immediately adds them to the backend team on GitHub. They're in the loop and can contribute within seconds.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
Team membership management requires switching to GitHub and remembering who belongs where. Neurodivergent founders need this automation to prevent siloed access and missed communication.
- New members are added to teams immediately—no manual steps
- Teams stay in sync with Telegram group membership
- Reduces admin overhead of managing separate access lists
- Everyone knows who's on which team without asking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When someone joins this Telegram group, add them to the backend team in our GitHub organization.'
- 3Select Telegram (New Chat Member) and choose your notification channel.
- 4Test by inviting a test member and confirm they appear in the GitHub team roster.
Questions about this workflow
Can I add someone to multiple teams?
Yes—specify the teams in your automation and Notis will add them to all of them.
What if the person's GitHub username is different from their Telegram name?
Include their GitHub username when inviting them to Telegram, or let Notis ask you for it.
Can I assign specific roles (maintainer vs. member) to different people?
Yes—configure the role in the automation or mention it when inviting the person to Telegram.

Telegram triggers
GitHub actions
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
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
