Bring ready documents to the approval queue
When a document is ready for review, move its existing Asana task into the right section.
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
Approval work can be hard to spot when ready documents stay mixed in with unrelated tasks.
- Make review-ready work easier to find.
- Keep the existing task and its history intact while updating its section.
- Reduce manual triage after document generation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
- 3Tell Notis to move the existing related Asana task into the approval section when the document-ready notice arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real ready-document notice and task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create an approval section?
No. It moves a task into a section that already exists in the project.
What if the request does not identify a task or section?
Provide enough identifying information in the webhook request or automation instruction. The workflow cannot infer an unavailable task or section.
