Move release-ready work into its Asana section
When an Ably event says a task is ready, place it in the section where your team reviews release work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add task to section
Adds an existing task to a section, optionally positioning it before or after another task in that section; if no position is specified, the task is added to the end.
Why this helps
Ready work can sit in the wrong section while someone waits to update the board manually.
- Keep release-ready work grouped for review.
- Avoid a separate manual board update after an event.
- Make the next review step visible in the project.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: when the webhook reports that work is release-ready, add the identified existing Asana task to the specified project section.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real release-ready event and task.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook provide?
It should include enough information to identify the existing task and the intended section.
Does this create a new section?
No. The action moves an existing task to a section that already exists in the project.
