Align Asana project sections with your weekly plan
Let a planning review guide where active work sits so the team can scan the board more easily.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add task to section
Adds an existing task to a section, optionally positioning it before or after another task in that section; if no position is specified, the task is added to the end.
Why this helps
Project sections get out of sync when a weekly plan changes but the related tasks stay put.
- Reflect supplied planning decisions in the project layout.
- Reduce manual board cleanup after weekly planning.
- Keep routing grounded in existing tasks and sections.
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 the supplied Marvin weekly plan to move only identified existing Asana tasks to specified existing project sections.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger, choose where run reports should go, and test with one real plan example.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create missing sections?
No. The action adds tasks to a section, so the destination sections must already exist.
What information helps it route reliably?
Provide the weekly plan, task references, and the existing destination sections that match your stages.
