Put Incoming Work in the Right Section
Send a request for review, let Notis gather relevant external context, and route the existing task to the section that fits.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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 pile up in a general section when nobody has time to review each request and route it.
- Use external context to support a routing decision
- Move an existing task into the chosen section
- Reduce manual triage and ambiguous queues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api Ninjas and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis what information to research, how to choose among your existing sections, and to add the specified task to the selected section.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and review the routing decision.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to create sections for this automation?
Yes. The instruction should refer to sections that already exist in the relevant Asana project.
Will this create a task?
This workflow moves an existing task into a section. Use a separate task creation workflow if the incoming request should create new work.
