Verify item details from attached inventory references
Connect an attached inventory reference to a quick BoxHero item lookup, then send the result for review.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
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
An inventory photo or document can be attached to a task without anyone checking the corresponding item record.
- Prompt an item record check when a task gains an attachment.
- Bring item quantities and attributes into the review.
- Keep the attachment and inventory lookup connected.
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 an attachment with a readable barcode or item ID should prompt a BoxHero item lookup and report.
- 4Pick Asana's Attachment Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task attachment that contains an identifiable barcode or item ID.
Questions about this workflow
Can it scan an image attachment automatically?
The listed BoxHero action retrieves an item by ID; it does not scan barcodes. The workflow needs an identifiable item ID available to Notis.
Will it update the item after checking it?
No. It retrieves item details for review and does not change inventory.
