Bring Aryn docset details into an Asana handoff

At a project handoff, put the known Aryn docset's metadata in the run report so its context is easier to pick up.

Trigger

Task Moved to Section

Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.

Action

Get DocSet Metadata

Tool to retrieve metadata for a specific docset. use when you have the docset id and optionally need usage statistics.

Why this helps

A section change signals that work is moving, but the supporting document set's context can remain in another tool.

  • Brings docset context into the handoff moment.
  • Can include usage statistics when available.
  • Makes the required docset identifier explicit in the run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Aryn once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis to retrieve metadata for the relevant Aryn docset when a task moves sections.
  • 3Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real section move and supply the Aryn docset ID if the event does not include it.

Questions about this workflow

Does the section name identify the Aryn docset automatically?

The listed event only says a task moved to a section. The Aryn action requires a docset ID, so provide that context if it is not present.

What metadata can I expect?

The action retrieves metadata for a specified docset and can optionally include usage statistics.
