Look up item details from tagged Asana work
Use a tag as a signal to gather item details while keeping the task as the team's starting point.
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 Item
Tool to retrieve a specific item (barcode) by ID. Use when you need detailed information about a single item including its attributes, pricing, and inventory quantities.
Why this helps
A tagged task can flag urgent inventory work, but people still have to find the item record by hand.
- Bring item attributes and quantities into inventory triage.
- Cut down on manual searching for a specific item.
- Keep follow-up connected to the task that raised it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and BoxHero once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe that the tagged task should prompt a BoxHero item detail lookup using a clear barcode or item identifier when available.
- 4Pick Asana's Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task that includes an identifiable item.
Questions about this workflow
Does the event provide the tag ID as the task ID?
No. Asana's tag event structure is inverted: the resource is the task and parent.gid gives the tag GID. Include a usable item identifier in the task if the BoxHero item lookup needs one.
Can it change the item's quantity?
No. This action retrieves one item by ID. The listed BoxHero actions do not include an inventory update.
