Auto-schedule onboarding when new members join Telegram
When someone joins your Telegram group, Notis automatically creates a calendar event for their onboarding meeting, kickoff call, or introduction—so you never forget to schedule it.
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
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
Onboarding slips through the cracks because it's not urgent or it gets lost in the chaos of new-hire activity. Neurodivergent managers especially struggle to remember all the little followup items that should happen immediately.
- Never forget to schedule an onboarding meeting—Notis creates it the moment someone joins
- Reduce the mental overhead of tracking who needs onboarding when
- Keep your calendar aligned with team changes automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Calendar.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone joins this Telegram group, create a calendar event for their onboarding meeting in the next few days.'
- 3Select 'New Chat Member' as the trigger.
- 4Choose which Telegram groups should trigger this automation.
- 5Test by adding a new member or inviting someone to the group and verifying an onboarding event appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set when the onboarding should be scheduled (immediate vs. later)?
Yes. Tell Notis 'schedule onboarding for 2 days from now' or 'same day if joining before noon, otherwise next morning.'
Can different groups trigger different onboarding events?
Absolutely. Set up separate automations for different teams—e.g., engineering onboarding vs. marketing onboarding with different agendas.
Will this trigger if the bot itself is added to a group?
You can include or exclude bot joins based on preference. Tell Notis whether to skip it or treat it as a workspace setup event.
