Why this helps
Blockers in personal notes are hard for collaborators to act on when the project status does not reflect them.
- Surface recorded blockers in the project status area.
- Keep status language concise and actionable.
- Avoid implying progress or causes that the review does not state.
Setup

- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the available Marvin review into an Asana project status update, including only stated progress, blockers, and requests for help.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger, choose where run reports should go, and test with one real review example.
