Generate Onboarding Issues When Team Members Join
Onboarding is critical but chaotic. When a new member joins your Telegram group, Notis instantly creates a Linear issue with your standard onboarding checklist. Nothing forgotten.
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 linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
New team members join, and you forget to create an onboarding checklist issue. Email gets lost, tasks aren't tracked, and weeks later you realize someone never got their access set up properly.
- Consistent onboarding every time a new member joins
- Automatic checklist creation means nothing is forgotten
- Tracked in Linear so progress is visible to the whole team
- Reduces manual admin burden on your hiring manager
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram group and Linear workspace to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new member joins our Telegram group, create a Linear onboarding issue with our standard checklist.'
- 3Provide your onboarding checklist or let Notis suggest one (tasks like access setup, introductions, first week goals).
- 4Confirm the Telegram group and Linear project where onboarding issues should appear.
- 5Test by adding a team member to the Telegram group and verify the onboarding issue is created.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the onboarding checklist?
Absolutely. Tell Notis your exact steps and timeline, and it will use that as the template for every new member's onboarding issue.
What if the same person joins multiple times (e.g., rejoining after leave)?
You can configure Notis to only trigger for new users or to always create an issue. This is your choice based on your onboarding structure.
Can I assign the onboarding issue to a specific manager or HR person?
Yes. Ask Notis to assign the issue to the relevant person or team as part of the automation.
