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.
