Put SMS updates beside the Asana task
Keep a useful text update with the work it relates to, so everyone can find the latest context.
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
Project updates shared in texts can stay invisible to teammates working from Asana.
- Keep status context with the task
- Make updates visible in the Asana activity feed
- Avoid rewriting a message as a separate update
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the referenced Asana task from the webhook message and add a concise comment with the update.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes enough information to identify the task.
Questions about this workflow
What if the message does not identify an Asana task?
Provide the task name or another identifying detail in the webhook request. Notis should report when the available context is not enough to identify a task.
Will the message be posted as a task comment?
