Why this helps
A qualified task can be ready for nurture while the follow-up automation remains unstarted.
- Turn a clear project milestone into marketing follow-up.
- Reduce manual handoffs between task tracking and campaigns.
- Keep automation enrollment tied to a deliberate section move.

- 1Connect Asana and ActiveCampaign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which section signals qualification, how to find the contact email, and which ActiveCampaign automation to start.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real task and contact.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a contact if one does not exist?
No. This action adds an existing contact to an automation. Use a separate contact-creation workflow when a new contact is needed.
Can I specify which section should qualify a task?
Yes. State the section name in your instruction so Notis can decide whether the moved task qualifies.
