Give tagged Asana work a Basecamp brief
When a task receives a meaningful tag, capture its context in a Basecamp document the team can refer back to.
Trigger
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Action
Create Document in Vault
Tool to create a new document in a Basecamp vault. Use when you need to publish a document in a specific project vault with title, HTML content, and optional publication status.
Why this helps
Important tasks marked in Asana may need a more durable brief than a tag alone provides.
- Preserve key task context in a project document.
- Make specially tagged work easier to understand later.
- Reduce repeated explanations across tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis which tag should prompt a brief and what useful task context to include in the document.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by adding the tag to one real task and review the resulting document.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which tag was added?
For Asana tag events, the parent resource is the tag, so Notis can use its GID and available event details to identify it.
Can the document be a short summary?
Yes. In your instruction, ask Notis for a concise brief and specify the context your team needs.
