Review documents attached to Asana tasks
Keep document review close to the task. When an attachment is added, ask Notis to retrieve its Aryn copy so you can focus on the work instead of hunting through files.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Get Document by ID
Tool to retrieve a document by id. use after both docset and document ids are available.
Why this helps
A task attachment can prompt a context switch to another tool, and the document details needed to retrieve it may not be available in the event.
- Cuts down on manual searching across tools.
- Keeps a retrieval step tied to the task that prompted it.
- Makes missing document identifiers visible 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 the corresponding Aryn document when a task attachment is added.
- 3Pick the Asana Attachment Added to Task trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real task attachment and provide the Aryn docset and document IDs if they are not present in the event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read any Asana attachment automatically?
The available Aryn action retrieves a document by ID. The automation needs the matching Aryn docset and document IDs; the event alone may not provide them.
Can Aryn extract or summarize the attachment here?
Not with the listed actions. This workflow retrieves a document by ID; the available event actions do not include document parsing or summarization.
