Turn Telegram messages into calendar events automatically
Stop context-switching between Telegram and calendar. When a message arrives describing an event, Notis creates it on your calendar with full details preserved.
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 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 often lose details in chat—reading something once doesn't guarantee it ends up scheduled, and manually copying every event kills momentum and focus.
- Eliminate the manual step of copying event details from chat to calendar
- Capture event timing and context in one place without cognitive overhead
- Reduce dropped balls from busy chat streams where details get buried
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Calendar to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I send you a message with event details, create a calendar event with the date, time, and description.'
- 3Pick 'New Message Received' as the trigger.
- 4Choose a Telegram channel where you'll send event info (or let Notis monitor all chats).
- 5Test by sending 'Team standup tomorrow 10am' and verify the event appears in your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis create an event from every message?
No. Notis learns from your language pattern and only creates events when your message clearly describes scheduling information (dates, times, event names). You can refine this with additional instructions.
Can I set a default calendar or event color?
Yes. Tell Notis during setup: 'Put all created events on my Work calendar' or 'Use a specific color for these events.' Notis handles the routing automatically.
What if I want to exclude certain chats?
Tell Notis which Telegram chats or groups to monitor, and it will only pull events from those conversations.
