Turn device maintenance requests into Asana work
Give every submitted maintenance request a trackable task that carries its device and requested action.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Requests sent alongside device operations can be lost before they become a task with a clear next step.
- Create a task for each incoming maintenance request.
- Preserve requester and device details from the request.
- Make the requested next step easy to review.
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 maintenance requests.
- 3Tell Notis to create an Asana task for each webhook request, including requester, device, issue, and requested action when provided.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and check that the task states the requested next step.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a maintenance request event?
No source trigger event is listed. The workflow starts from a Notis webhook request, which your setup must send when a request is submitted.
What happens if a request is incomplete?
Notis can create a task that identifies missing details for follow-up. Include a prompt instruction for how to handle incomplete requests.
