Tasks for any Telegram user
Inline tasks arrived: you can assign a task to any Telegram user right in a private chat, without a shared group.
On July 18, 2024, we shipped a major release whose main new feature was inline tasks. Previously, to assign a task to someone, you had to create a shared group or add the bot to an existing one – inconvenient for a one-off request or a meeting.
Now a task can be assigned directly to any Telegram user – right in a private chat, without a shared group. After the task is created, a message with an accept button appears in the chat: whoever accepts the task becomes its assignee. Inline tasks are saved in the “Inbox” project.
The same release added three- and six-month subscriptions, a viewer for images attached to a task, links in the task description and improved notifications in which the time is always shown with the time zone. Two weeks later, inline tasks got their own notifications and settings.
The video guide on inline tasks became one of the most popular posts of the channel. And in July 2025, inline mode became available in group chats as well.
