Review an Aryn analysis plan from a task comment

When a project discussion raises a data question, have Notis prepare the logical plan for review before anyone runs a query.

Trigger

New Comment on Task

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

Action

Generate plan

Tool to generate a query plan without executing it. use when you need to review the logical plan before running your query (e.g., "generate a plan for revenue breakdown by region").

Why this helps

Analysis requests buried in task comments are easy to lose, and starting a query without reviewing its plan can add avoidable back and forth.

  • Surfaces analysis requests at the moment they are discussed.
  • Lets you inspect query logic before execution.
  • Keeps run reports connected to the existing task conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Aryn once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis to generate an Aryn plan from the analysis question in a task comment.
  • 3Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real comment that names the analysis question and required Aryn docset context.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run the query?

No. Aryn's Generate plan action creates a query plan without executing it.

What should the comment include?

State the analysis question clearly and include the docset context needed to plan it. The listed trigger and action do not supply missing analysis details automatically.
