Capture search language from tagged tasks
Use a task tag as a signal to add a synonym relationship that helps people find the same concept with different wording.
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
Save Synonym
Tool to add or update a synonym in the specified index. use when you need programmatic upsert of search synonyms after index creation.
Why this helps
Search terms evolve, and useful language from project work can be missed when synonym updates depend on memory.
- Capture agreed search language from project activity.
- Upsert a synonym relationship in a named index.
- Make terminology updates part of an existing task workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe the index and synonym terms to save; note that the tag event's parent GID is the tag GID.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task and verify the synonym.
Questions about this workflow
Does the event provide the tag ID?
Yes. For Asana tag events, the parent GID is the tag GID, while the resource is the task.
Will a tag automatically define both synonym terms?
No. Your instruction must provide the synonym relationship or a clear convention for deriving it.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Algolia. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Algolia actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add AB Test
Tool to create an ab test comparing search performance between two variants. use to test different index configurations or search parameters and measure impact on click-through and conversion rates.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Browse Algolia Index
Tool to retrieve all records from an index. use when you need to export or iterate through an entire index dataset.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Clear Objects
Tool to clear records of an index without affecting settings. use when you need to completely wipe all objects (e.g., after a bulk reindex) while preserving index configuration.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Clear Rules
Tool to delete all rules in an index. use when you need to wipe all rules before re-creating them. use after confirming no critical rules require retention.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Clicked Object IDs
Tool to send a click event to algolia to capture clicked items. use immediately after a user click outside of search contexts to report click events.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Clicked Object IDs After Search
Tool to send a click event after a search response. use when you want to report which items a user clicked in search results.
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.
Converted Object IDs
Tool to send a conversion event for items outside of search context. use when tracking conversions on category pages or external flows unrelated to algolia search.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Copy Index
Tool to copy the specified index to a new index. use when you need to duplicate an existing index including records, settings, synonyms, and rules after confirming source and destination names.
