Trigger
Webhook received

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
Tasks can remain in the wrong section after priorities or work stages change.
- Keep a project board aligned with current work stage.
- Reduce manual task shuffling.
- Use the routing intent supplied with the Marvin item.
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 add the specified existing Asana task to the supplied project section based on the Marvin work context.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and verify its new section.
Questions about this workflow
Does the automation create a section?
No. This action adds an existing task to a section, so the destination section must already exist.
What should I provide?
Supply the task reference, project section, and Marvin context that explains the routing decision.
