Keep important work moving with an Asana check-in
Turn a review reminder into a clear question on the task, where the next response can unblock progress.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
Follow-up tasks and unanswered questions are easy to overlook when they live only in a personal review.
- Bring review-driven follow-up into the relevant task.
- Ask a specific next-step question instead of sending a vague nudge.
- Keep the task's activity history together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 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 use available Marvin review notes to identify explicit follow-up needs and comment on the related Asana task with a concise question.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger, choose where run reports should go, and test with one real follow-up example.
Questions about this workflow
Will it comment on every task in a review?
Tell Notis to comment only when the review shows a concrete follow-up need.
What if a task reference is unclear?
Instruct Notis to report the ambiguity for review instead of commenting on a guessed task.
