Keep a Backendless record of key Asana stage changes
Capture task movement into a meaningful section so handoffs are easier to trace later.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Map Put
Tool to set or update key-value pairs in a hive map. use when you need to add or update multiple entries in a hive map.
Why this helps
A task's latest section may be clear, while the handoff that put it there is easy to overlook.
- Capture selected stage transitions as they happen.
- Store task identity, destination section, and link when available.
- Make handoffs easier to review from one Backendless map.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: when a task moves into the named section, store its task identifier, destination section, summary, and link in the existing Backendless hive map.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task move and verify the stored entry.
Questions about this workflow
Can this track every section in the project?
The instruction should name the section transitions that matter; the trigger fires when a task moves to a section.
Will it keep a full history?
The action can write map values. Specify a key strategy that preserves entries if you need a history rather than a latest value.

Asana triggers
Backendless actions
Recurring trigger

Create Backendless Timer
