Bring past Beeminder goals into tagged work reviews
Some tagged tasks benefit from a quick look back at completed or archived commitments. Notis can retrieve archived Beeminder goals when an Asana tag is added.
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
Get Archived Goals
Tool to retrieve archived goals for a specified user. use when you need to inspect a user's past archived goals.
Why this helps
Past goals are easy to forget when reviewing work that connects to an older project or commitment.
- Retrieve archived goals during a relevant tagged task review.
- Make past commitments available without a manual archive search.
- Support retrospectives with a concise record of archived goals.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Beeminder once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for tagged work reviews.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve archived Beeminder goals when a tag is added to an Asana task and summarize them for retrospective reference.
- 4Choose the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task and confirm the report includes useful archived-goal context.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation identify the tag name?
For this Asana event, the parent object is the tag and its GID is in parent.gid. Ask Notis to use the tag information available in the event; provide a tag's meaning if it needs interpretation.
Does this reactivate an archived goal?
No. The action retrieves archived goals for review and does not reactivate or edit them.
