Find people in Apollo from an Asana research comment
A comment with a new prospect request can start an Apollo people search using the criteria your team already wrote down.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Apollo people search
Searches apollo's contact database for people using various filters; results are limited to 50,000 records and this action does not enrich contact data.
Why this helps
New prospect research requests in comments can be overlooked or require manually recreating criteria in a separate search tool.
- Turn a written request into a practical prospect search.
- Keep research criteria alongside the task that needs the result.
- Cut the extra step of switching tools to start discovery.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Apollo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis from the portal or any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to search Apollo people using the criteria in the new comment and return a concise set of matches.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real research request and inspect the search results.
Questions about this workflow
Does Apollo people search enrich returned records?
No. Apollo people search finds contacts but does not enrich contact data.
What if a comment does not include search criteria?
Notis can only search using criteria available to it. Include the needed role, organization, location, or other supported criteria in the comment or instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Apollo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Apollo actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Contacts to Sequence
Adds contacts to a specified apollo email sequence by initiating an asynchronous background job and returning its details.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bulk organization enrichment
Enriches data for up to 10 organizations simultaneously by providing a list of their base company domains (e.g., 'apollo.io', not 'www.apollo.io').
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Bulk people enrichment
Use to enrich multiple person profiles simultaneously with comprehensive data from apollo's database.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Bulk update account stage
Bulk updates the stage for specified existing apollo.io accounts, moving them to a valid new account stage.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Create an Apollo account
Creates a new account in apollo.io; a new record is created even if a similar account exists, and provided `owner id` or `account stage id` must be valid existing ids.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Create Apollo contact
Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
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.
Create Apollo deal
Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in apollo.io; all provided ids (`owner id`, `account id`, `opportunity stage id`) must be valid existing apollo identifiers.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Create Apollo Task
Creates a distinct apollo.io task for each contact id in contact ids, assigning them to user id; this action is not for free plan users and repeated calls create duplicate tasks.
