Create Breathe HR expense records from Asana comments
When expense details arrive in a task discussion, Notis can create a Breathe HR expense record from the comment and task context, keeping the handoff close to the work.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Create Employee Expense
Tool to create an employee expense record in BreatheHR. Use when an employee needs to submit a new expense claim for reimbursement or record a company-paid expense.
Why this helps
Expense details buried in project comments are easy to miss when it is time to record them for reimbursement or tracking.
- Capture expense details where the team already discusses the work.
- Reduce repeated data entry into HR expense records.
- Keep the source task available for review.

- 1Connect Asana and Breathe HR once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Breathe HR employee expense from the new comment and related task, and report any unclear details.

- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real expense comment.
