Log Tasks Awaiting Review in Airtable
A task sits in your 'Awaiting Approval' section in Asana, waiting silently. Notis creates an approval record in Airtable and pings your review channel so requests don't languish.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Tasks pile up in review queues invisibly; approval gets stuck for weeks without anyone noticing until a deadline explodes.
- Approval requests always visible
- Nothing sits silently in queue
- Spot stuck approvals fast
- Keep work flowing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Airtable to Notis (one-time).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a task moves to the Review section (or Awaiting Approval), create a record in my Airtable approval queue with the task name, who submitted it, and when it entered review.'
- 3Choose your notification channel (slack for approvers, email, etc.).
- 4Select 'Task Moved to Section' and specify 'Review' as your trigger.
- 5Test by moving a task to Review in Asana and watching it appear in your Airtable approval queue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new record each time a task re-enters review?
Notis creates a record when it first enters. If it cycles in and out, you can set it to update existing records or create new ones—your choice.
Can I add a reviewer field automatically?
If you assign a reviewer in Asana, Notis includes them in the Airtable record.
What if a task is rejected and sent back?
You can set up a separate automation to log rejections, or use a status field in your approval table.
Does this notify the approver automatically?
Notis posts to your chosen channel. You can set it to notify the specific reviewer if you configure that.
