Start external connector setup from a tagged source task
Mark a source onboarding task with the agreed tag and let Notis start connector creation from its context.
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 External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Why this helps
Source setup details and requests can get separated across tasks and follow-up conversations.
- Start connector setup from the source onboarding task
- Use task context to reduce repeated handoffs
- Get a run report when required connection details are absent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and BigML once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a BigML external connector for tagged source onboarding tasks when the task context contains the required connection details; report missing details instead of guessing.
- 4Pick Asana's Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task that includes valid connection details.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger identify the tag?
The tag event has an inverted structure: the task is the resource and the tag is the parent. Its parent.gid is the tag GID. Describe the intended tag in your automation instruction.
Will Notis invent missing connection settings?
No. The instruction should tell Notis to report missing required details rather than guess them.
