Put urgent search alerts where the work is tracked
Send the alert details to the task your team is already using to fix the issue.
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
Urgent search alerts lose momentum when the signal and the work live in separate places.
- Keep alert details beside the tracked work.
- Reduce copying between monitoring and project tools.
- Give teammates context for the next action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, explain how to find the related task and add the incoming alert context as a comment.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the comment is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook itself come from Algolia?
No. A Notis webhook starts this automation when an HTTP request reaches it; Algolia has no trigger events listed here.
What if there is no matching task?
Describe in your instruction how Notis should handle a missing task, such as reporting that it needs review.
