Review Appveyor role details alongside an Asana request

Let a new Asana comment prompt a role details lookup, so access discussions have useful context in the run report.

Trigger

New Comment on Task

Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.

Action

Get Role

Tool to retrieve details of a specific role. use when you need to inspect permissions and metadata of a role by id.

Why this helps

Role names in access discussions do not always reveal the permissions or metadata people need to review.

  • Bring role details into the request discussion flow.
  • Avoid manually searching the Appveyor account during review.
  • Keep the lookup tied to the task comment that prompted it.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for access request review.
  • 3Tell Notis: When a comment is added to an Asana task, look for an Appveyor role ID in the comment or task context, retrieve that role's details, and report when no ID is provided.
  • 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real comment that includes a role ID.

Questions about this workflow

Does this change role permissions?

No. The action retrieves details for a role by ID and does not edit permissions.

What if the comment has no role ID?

The role details action needs a specific role ID. The instruction tells Notis to report that the ID is missing rather than guess.
