Log Asana Attachments as Airtable Comments
A contractor uploads a design to Asana, but it's invisible to anyone checking Airtable. Notis logs every attachment as a comment so nothing slips through the cracks.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Fires when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Create Comment
Adds a comment to a record.
Why this helps
Critical files get attached to Asana tasks, but your Airtable record has no record of them—you rediscover them weeks later or never at all.
- Never miss a file attached to a task
- All supporting docs linked to records
- Attachment history preserved
- Easy to audit what was submitted
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Airtable to Notis (portal, once).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a file is attached to an Asana task, post a comment on the matching Airtable record that includes the file name and a link to it.'
- 3Select your notification channel.
- 4Choose 'Attachment Added to Task' as your trigger.
- 5Test by uploading a file to an Asana task and checking for the logged comment in Airtable.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis copy the actual file into Airtable or just link to it?
Notis posts a comment with the file name and link. The actual file stays in Asana's storage, so you can still find it easily.
What file types are supported?
Asana supports images, PDFs, docs, sheets, and more. Notis logs all of them equally.
Can I filter which files get logged?
You can name files in a way that matches your filter (e.g., 'REVIEW_designv2.pdf') and create a trigger based on that pattern.
Does this create new Airtable records or just comment on existing ones?
It comments on existing records. Pair it with auto-logging to ensure records exist first.
