Get nutrition estimates from new Asana tasks
Add a meal or recipe task and let Notis pull out the nutrition details for a quicker planning decision.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Extract Nutrition Information
Tool to extract nutrition information from text query. use when you need to parse food-related text (e.g., recipes, menus) to calculate corresponding nutrition data.
Why this helps
Recipe and meal details are easy to lose in task lists, and estimating nutrition by hand adds another step to planning.
- See an estimate without switching to a separate nutrition tool.
- Keep the result tied to the task that prompted it.
- Reduce manual review of recipe or menu text.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Api Ninjas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to extract food details from the task and use Api Ninjas to estimate nutrition.
- 4Pick New Task Created as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task containing a recipe, menu item, or food description.
Questions about this workflow
What should the Asana task contain?
Include a recipe, menu description, or other food-related text. The action extracts nutrition information from a text query.
Does it update the Asana task?
The available Api Ninjas action returns nutrition information. Any task update would need to be supported separately; this workflow does not claim one.
Can it estimate every food?
Results depend on the food details provided and what Api Ninjas can extract. Test with a representative real task.
