Bring a referenced email into a new task handoff
Use a task creation as the cue to retrieve a specific message that the handoff needs.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Get Message
Get a specific message from an agentmail inbox
Why this helps
A task may point to an email conversation, but finding that message can require a distracting inbox search.
- Retrieve a specific message using the available message identifier.
- Bring relevant correspondence into the task handoff process.
- Avoid a manual inbox search when the reference is known.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Agent mail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3In one instruction, explain where a message identifier comes from and what to do with the retrieved message.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger for the project.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real task that includes a message reference.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow search for a message by subject?
The selected action retrieves a specific message. Provide a usable message identifier in the task or instruction; it is not a general inbox search.
What if a new task has no message reference?
Instruct Notis to skip the lookup and report that no identifier was available.
