Turn an Asana contact comment into an ActiveTrail update
If a team member adds a contact email or relevant update in a task comment, Notis can carry it into the specified ActiveTrail group.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Create or Update Group Member
Tool to create or update a member in a group. Use when you need to add a new contact to a specific group or update an existing member's details. The API will not return errors if the address is already in the group.
Why this helps
Contact updates buried in task comments are easy to miss and may never reach the right audience.
- Catch contact updates made in task discussions.
- Create or update a group member from available details.
- Keep follow-up information connected to the task conversation.

- 3In one instruction, explain which comment details to use and how to identify the ActiveTrail group.

- 5Test with one real comment that includes the contact email and relevant update.

Does the trigger apply to a task in a project?
