Personal Telegram assistant for managing tasks in Trello
Goal:
Develop an intelligent Telegram assistant that completely takes over the routine task management in Trello. Key requirements: creating a "single window" in Telegram for quick task setting, receiving proactive reminders, and the ability to interact with the task manager using natural language, minimizing the need to open Trello.
My Contribution:
The main challenge in this project is not the technical limitations of the API, but the human factor: constant "context switching" between the messenger, where communication takes place, and the task manager, which steals time and focus.
My contribution involved developing a comprehensive bidirectional system based on self-hosted n8n, which transforms Telegram into a full-fledged command center for Trello:
Intelligent processing of incoming commands: I developed a workflow that listens to messages in Telegram and, using a logical Switch node, instantly determines the user's intent:
Simple task: If the message is a standard task, it is immediately sent via the API to Trello to create a new card in the specified list. The user receives instant confirmation.
Complex request: If the command requires analysis or response generation (for example, "summarize my tasks for today"), the request is forwarded to the OpenAI model (ChatGPT) for processing, after which a structured response is sent to the user.
Proactive reminder system: A second, independent process was created that operates on a schedule (Schedule Trigger). It automatically:
Once a day connects to Trello and collects all cards from a specific list (for example, "Today").
Checks if there are tasks in this list.
If tasks are present, it generates a concise report and sends it to Telegram as a morning reminder. This ensures that no important task is missed.
Result:
Successfully launched a personal assistant that operates 24/7 and significantly enhances personal productivity. The solution completely eliminates the need to manually transfer tasks from chats to Trello and constantly check the board.
The client received:
Time savings: Dozens of routine operations are now performed with a single command in Telegram.
Increased focus: Reducing the number of switches between applications allows for better concentration on task execution.
Reliable control: Automatic daily summaries ensure that priorities are not forgotten.
The final architecture built on n8n is extremely flexible: new commands can be easily added, other services (such as Google Calendar) can be integrated, or the reminder logic can be changed without rebuilding the entire system.
