Automatically attach external files to tasks
When external systems generate files or data, have Notis automatically attach them to the relevant Asana task. Everything is in one place, nothing gets lost in email.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Attachment for Task
Tool to upload an attachment to a task. use when you need to attach a file to a specific task in asana.
Why this helps
Files from external systems often arrive in email or separate notifications. Team members have to hunt down the right attachment and manually add it to the task, creating delays and duplicates.
- Files automatically appear on the task where work happens
- No email hunting or manual attachment steps
- All task context (files, comments, changes) stays in one place
- Reduce duplicated files and version confusion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana to Notis in your portal
- 2Create an automation with this prompt: 'When a webhook fires with file data, attach that file to the corresponding Asana task'
- 3Set up your webhook trigger and get the URL from Notis
- 4Configure your external system to send file metadata or the file itself to that webhook URL
- 5Test by sending a sample file attachment from your external system
Questions about this workflow
What file types can be attached?
Asana supports most common file types (images, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, etc.). Check Asana's attachment limits if you're attaching large files.
How does Notis know which task to attach to?
Include task identifiers in your webhook payload (task ID, name, or project name) and reference that in your prompt.
Can I attach multiple files to one task?
Yes. Notis can handle multiple attachments per task. Specify that in your webhook payload and prompt.
