Turn document handoffs into clear next steps
Capture the next action from a merge workflow as a small, trackable subtask.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create subtask
Creates a new asana subtask under an existing parent task (`task gid`); `due on` and `due at` are mutually exclusive and cannot be set simultaneously.
Why this helps
A merged document can arrive with follow-up work that is easy to forget or leave buried in a note.
- Give each concrete follow-up a trackable place beneath the parent task.
- Preserve the relationship to the broader piece of work.
- Reduce dropped handoffs after document merging.
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 create a subtask under the related parent task for the next action stated in the merge notice.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real merge notice and parent task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a parent task?
No. It creates a subtask beneath an existing parent task identified by the notice or instruction.
Can Notis decide the next action?
It can interpret the information provided in the notice. Any decision context not included there should be supplied in the instruction.
