Tool to create a new status update on a project. use when you need to communicate the current status, progress, or any blockers related to a specific project.
Why this helps
Project updates can miss the research changes and open questions that affect the next decision.
- Connect research developments to project communication.
- Keep open questions visible for the next review.
- Reduce manual status drafting.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Are.na and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize relevant supplied Are.na research into a concise status update for the identified Asana project, noting missing progress or blocker details rather than guessing.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real project and its relevant research.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know whether the project is on track from Are.na alone?
Are.na research may not contain project progress or blocker data. Supply those details or ask Notis to flag them as missing rather than infer them.
What is needed to publish the update?
The instruction and connected context need to identify the Asana project to receive the status update.
