Keep market alerts with the work they affect
When a market alert needs context, send it to Notis and add it to the relevant Asana task.
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
Market context can end up separated from the task or research it is meant to inform.
- Keep alert context alongside related work.
- Give collaborators one place to find the latest note.
- Avoid copying the same alert into multiple conversations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Asana in the Notis portal once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis: When a market alert arrives, add its details as a comment to the Asana task identified in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Send one real example request with a task reference to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which task to comment on?
The incoming request needs to identify the relevant Asana task, and Notis needs access to that task.
Can this workflow interpret market data?
Notis can use the alert details supplied in the request. The workflow does not assume Alpaca sends any particular event or market field.
