Review Affinity list entries when a task gets tagged
Use a task tag as a signal to pull together relevant list entry details, so a review starts with the records you need.
Trigger
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Action
Get all list entries on a list
Access and export essential data and metadata for companies, persons, or opportunities from a list, specifying data via `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. "export data from lists" permission is necessary.
Why this helps
A tag may signal special handling, but assembling the matching list context still takes manual searching and tab switching.
- Use a tag event as a clear cue for a records review.
- Retrieve essential data and metadata from a relevant Affinity list.
- Summarize the results in the run report for easier triage.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for list entry review on tagged tasks.
- 3Tell Notis how to use task context to identify a relevant Affinity list and summarize its entries.
- 4Pick Asana's Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task and verify the list results.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis use the tag itself to identify the list?
Asana's tag event has an inverted structure: the parent contains the tag GID. Describe how the tag and task context should guide the lookup, and verify the result with a real example.
Are there permission requirements?
Yes. Affinity requires the export data from lists permission for this action.
