Put review context on the Box file

When a task tag flags a document, add the useful context where reviewers will see it.

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 comment

Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.

Why this helps

Reviewers can miss why a file was flagged when context lives only in task labels or comments.

  • Keep review context with the file.
  • Make tagged work easier to understand.
  • Reduce back and forth before review begins.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or from any channel.
  • 3Tell Notis which tag should prompt a concise comment on the related Box file and what context to include.
  • 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real tagged task and verify the comment appears on the intended file.

Questions about this workflow

Can the note explain why the file was tagged?

Yes, if the reason is available in the task or supplied in your instruction. Notis cannot infer missing context.

How is the chosen tag identified?

The tag event has the tag as its parent resource. Specify the intended tag in your instruction.
