Turn Telegram button clicks into calendar events
Embed scheduling choices directly in Telegram messages. When someone taps a button, the event automatically appears on everyone's calendar.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders struggle with multi-step flows. Even asking someone to 'reply to confirm' and then manually creating the event creates friction and forgotten items. Callbacks in chat skip those steps entirely.
- Reduce friction: one tap confirms attendance and updates the calendar simultaneously
- Perfect for quick polls: 'Can you do 3pm tomorrow?' with Yes/No buttons that auto-schedule
- Keeps decisions in the chat where context lives, while syncing to calendar automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Telegram and Google Calendar integrations in Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a button is tapped in a Telegram message, create a calendar event based on the button label.'
- 3Choose 'Callback Query Received' as the trigger.
- 4Define which Telegram groups should have this workflow active.
- 5Test by sending a message with scheduling buttons like 'Tuesday 2pm' and 'Wednesday 4pm,' then tap one to see it appear on the calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Can multiple people's calendar events be created from one button?
Yes. Notis can add events to each participant's calendar based on who tapped the button and your team setup.
How do I set the event details from a button label?
Tell Notis what information each button should include (e.g., 'button text = event title, always add 1-hour duration, use the Work calendar').
Can I set different buttons for different event types?
Absolutely. Use different button labels ('Team Sync', 'Client Call', '1:1') and tell Notis to handle each differently—different calendars, durations, or reminders.
