Carry useful Asana tags into Canny
Tag a task in Asana and Notis can apply the corresponding existing tag to its Canny feedback post.
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
Add Post Tag
Tool to add a tag to a specific post. use when you need to categorize or group content by applying an existing tag.
Why this helps
When teams categorize requests in one tool but not another, similar feedback becomes harder to find and review together.
- Group related feedback in Canny
- Avoid repeating categorization work
- Make patterns easier to review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe how the Asana tag and task identify an existing Canny tag and its related post.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task and a corresponding post and tag in Canny.
Questions about this workflow
Does the Asana tag event include the tag identifier?
For Asana tag events, the task is the resource and the tag is the parent, so parent.gid identifies the tag.
Will this create a missing Canny tag?
This workflow applies an existing tag using the Add Post Tag action. Create the needed tag in Canny separately before testing.
What if the task has no link to a Canny post?
Include a reliable way to find the related post in the task or instruction. The automation needs enough information to identify it.
