Prepare a dataset when research work begins
Give a new collection request its own place for results. A new Asana task can prompt Notis to initialize an Apify dataset.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.
Why this helps
Collection starts late when someone has to pause and create a dataset before the Actor can store its results.
- Prepare a results destination at the start of a research request.
- Keep separate research efforts organized in datasets.
- Reduce setup steps before data collection begins.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, then describe when to initialize a dataset for a research task.
- 3Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real task that requests a new collection.
Questions about this workflow
Does this start an Actor run?
No. It creates a dataset. A separate automation can start an Actor after the dataset is ready.
Can Notis name the dataset based on the task?
Describe the naming approach in your instruction. The dataset creation action initializes a dataset, and its resulting details can be reported.
