Run Projects from Chat: Corcava's Telegram Bot for Tasks, Time & Alerts

Are you tired of constantly switching between messaging apps and project management tools? What if you could manage your entire workflow from the same app where your team already communicates?

With Telegram bot integration, you can create tasks, start time tracking, check project status, and receive instant notifications—all without leaving your conversation flow. For remote teams, freelancers, and mobile-first professionals, this changes everything.

This comprehensive guide shows you how to run your projects directly from Telegram using Corcava's bot, covering core commands, two-way synchronization, mobile workflows, and real-world use cases.

Why Manage Projects Through Telegram?

The Context Switching Problem

The average knowledge worker switches between apps 10-15 times per hour. Each context switch costs 23 minutes of focus time, according to research from the University of California Irvine. When your team communicates in Telegram but manages projects elsewhere, you're forcing constant disruption.

Traditional Workflow:

  1. Team discusses task in Telegram
  2. Switch to browser
  3. Log into project management tool
  4. Create the task
  5. Return to Telegram
  6. Continue conversation

With Telegram Bot:

  1. Team discusses task in Telegram
  2. Type /create [task name]
  3. Continue conversation

That's it. No context switching, no browser tabs, no momentum loss.

The Mobile-First Reality

Remote work and mobile professionals need tools that work on phones. Traditional project management interfaces are designed for desktop:

  • Small touch targets
  • Complex navigation
  • Slow loading on mobile networks
  • Battery-draining web apps
  • Clunky mobile interfaces

Telegram bot commands work perfectly on mobile:

  • Simple text commands
  • Instant responses
  • Minimal data usage
  • Native app performance
  • Touch-optimized interface

The Communication Advantage

When project management lives inside your communication tool:

Faster Decisions

  • Discuss → Decide → Create → Done (all in one chat)
  • No meeting notes lost in translation
  • Immediate action on discussed items

Better Context

  • Task creation linked to conversation
  • Team members see full discussion context
  • Decisions documented in chat history

Improved Adoption

  • Team already uses Telegram daily
  • No separate tool to remember
  • Lower learning curve
  • Higher engagement rates

Two-Way Synchronization Explained

How Sync Works

One of the most powerful features of the Telegram bot is true two-way synchronization. Changes made in Telegram reflect in Corcava instantly, and changes made in Corcava appear in Telegram.

Telegram → Corcava:

  • Task created in Telegram → Appears on project board
  • Timer started in Telegram → Desktop app shows active tracking
  • Task completed in Telegram → Board updated, notifications sent

Corcava → Telegram:

  • Task assigned in dashboard → Notification in Telegram
  • Colleague completes task → Alert in Telegram
  • Comment added on task → Mention notification
  • Invoice paid → Payment confirmation message

Real-Time vs. Near Real-Time:

Most updates are instant (<1 second):

  • Task creation and updates
  • Time tracking start/stop
  • Status changes
  • Assignments

Some updates have slight delays (5-10 seconds):

  • Complex calculations (project progress)
  • Report generation
  • Bulk operations
  • File uploads

Conflict Resolution

When the same task is modified simultaneously in Telegram and the dashboard, the system uses "last write wins" with intelligent merging:

Example Scenario:

  • You update a task description in Telegram
  • Colleague updates the same task's due date in dashboard
  • Both changes are preserved

Protected Fields: The system prevents conflicts on critical fields:

  • Only one person can be actively editing a task at once
  • Time tracking can't be started on same task by multiple users
  • Task movements are queued if simultaneous

Sync Reliability

Automatic Retry: If a sync fails (poor mobile connection, server issues):

  • Command queued locally
  • Automatic retry after 30 seconds
  • Up to 3 retry attempts
  • Error notification if all attempts fail

Manual Sync: If you suspect sync issues:

/sync

Forces immediate synchronization of all pending changes.

Mobile-First Workflows

The Remote Worker's Toolkit

For professionals working remotely or on-the-go, the Telegram bot creates an entirely new workflow paradigm.

Morning Routine:

/tasks today               → See today's priorities
/track [Morning Planning]  → Start time on planning
/status [Project Name]     → Check project health
/stop                      → End planning time

During Work:

/track task 5              → Start work on specific task
(Work for 2 hours)
/stop                      → End work session
/create [Project] Follow-up call needed
/complete 5                → Mark task done

End of Day:

/report me today           → Review daily productivity
/tasks tomorrow            → Plan next day
/status [Critical Project] → Final project check

Field Work Scenarios

Scenario 1: Freelancer Meeting with Client

During Meeting:

Client: "Can you add a contact form to the homepage?"
You: (in Telegram) /create [ClientSite] Add contact form to homepage

Client: "Also, can you make the logo bigger?"
You: /create [ClientSite] Increase logo size

Both tasks immediately appear in your project board. No note-taking, no risk of forgetting, instant action items.

Scenario 2: Agency Team Stand-Up

During Stand-Up Call:

Manager: "Sarah, can you review the designs today?"
Sarah: /create @sarah Review homepage designs

Developer: "I finished the API integration"
Developer: /complete 12
✅ Task completed: API integration

Designer: "Need 3 more hours for mockups"
Designer: /update 8 estimate +3h

Entire stand-up captured in actionable tasks, no meeting notes needed.

Scenario 3: On-Site Client Visit

You're at a client's office, walking through their website on their computer. You don't have access to your laptop or your project management dashboard.

In Telegram (on phone):

/create [ClientX] Update product images - client feedback
/create [ClientX] Fix navigation menu - broken on mobile
/create [ClientX] Add testimonials section - client provided copy
/track [ClientX] On-site client consultation

All work documented and tracked without touching a computer.

Airport/Flight:

/status all projects       → Get comprehensive overview
/report team this month    → Review team performance
/create [Admin] File expenses

Hotel Room (Evening):

/report me today           → Daily reflection
/tasks tomorrow            → Plan next day

Advanced Bot Integrations

Team Notifications and Automations

Beyond individual use, the Telegram bot excels at team coordination through automated notifications.

Task Completion Notifications

Group vs. Direct Messages

The bot works in both direct messages and group chats, with different behaviors:

Direct Messages (DMs):

  • Personal task management
  • Individual time tracking
  • Personal reports and status
  • Private notifications

Group Chats:

  • Team task creation (visible to all)
  • Shared notifications
  • Team reports
  • Collaborative planning

Best Practices:

Use DMs for:

  • Personal task lists
  • Individual productivity tracking
  • Private client communications
  • Personal reminders

Use Groups for:

  • Shared project updates
  • Team coordination
  • Collaborative task creation
  • Company-wide announcements

Privacy Considerations:

  • Tasks created in groups are visible to all group members
  • Time tracking data remains private (only visible to you and admins)
  • Reports in groups show team data, not individual details
  • Sensitive data should be handled in DMs

Comparing Telegram Bot to Other Interfaces

Telegram Bot vs. Web Dashboard

When to Use Telegram Bot: ✅ Quick task creation during meetings or conversations ✅ Mobile-first work on phone or tablet ✅ Time tracking start/stop during work ✅ Checking task status on the go ✅ Receiving real-time team notifications ✅ Working with poor internet connection (SMS fallback)
