Bring coffee price history into tagged sourcing work
A sourcing tag can trigger a coffee price series lookup while the cost question is in view.
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
Global Coffee Price
Tool to retrieve the global coffee price series. use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual coffee prices.
Why this helps
Commodity checks often get lost between a sourcing task and the separate market data tool.
- Retrieve global coffee price history at a useful interval.
- Bring market context into the tagged sourcing task.
- Summarize the data without a separate manual lookup.

- 1Connect Asana and Alpha Vantage once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for coffee price checks.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve global coffee prices at the interval stated in the task and summarize the result.
- 4Pick Asana Tag Added to Task as the trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a real sourcing task and add the intended tag.
