Give tagged work a current Algodocs folder reference
A tag can mark a task for document handling. Surface the Algodocs folder hierarchy in the run report so filing locations are easy to consult.
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
List folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve all folder IDs and their hierarchy. Must be called after obtaining an API key.
Why this helps
A tagged task can sit waiting while someone searches for the right place to file its documents.
- Make the folder hierarchy available when a task is tagged.
- Include folder IDs and hierarchy in a run report.
- Avoid pausing work to look up Algodocs filing locations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Algodocs once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: when a task receives a tag, list the Algodocs folder hierarchy and summarize it in the run report.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task.
Questions about this workflow
Can the report identify the tag that triggered it?
Asana's tag event structure puts the tag GID in parent.gid. Ask Notis to include that value if it is present in the event data.
Does this place a document into a folder?
No. The available Algodocs action retrieves the folder list and hierarchy.
