Keep device alerts in the related Asana task
Put new readings beside the work already underway so nobody has to reconstruct the device history.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
Device updates can be separated from the task tracking the fix, forcing teammates to search across tools for the latest context.
- Keep successive alert details in a task activity feed.
- Give collaborators context without starting a separate tracking thread.
- Use payload details to summarize what changed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for device alert updates.
- 3Tell Notis to add each webhook's device, feed, reading, and time details as a comment on the related Asana task; specify how to identify that task.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert and verify it comments on the intended task.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which task to comment on?
The webhook payload or your instruction needs to identify the Asana task, for example by providing its task link or gid. Notis cannot infer an unspecified task.
Does this create a task if none is identified?
This workflow adds a comment to an existing task. If you need a task created for an alert, use a task creation workflow instead.
