Start launch creative from an Asana task
Capture the launch brief once in Asana and let Notis start a Canva design from it.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create canva design with optional asset
Create a new canva design using a preset or custom dimensions, and add an asset with `asset id` from a user's project using relevant apis.
Why this helps
Launch tasks often contain the brief, but getting that context into a fresh design takes extra copying and tab switching.
- Start a design without retyping the task brief.
- Keep the task as the source of launch context.
- Reduce the handoff from planning to creative work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create a Canva launch design from new Asana project tasks.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, including the design format or dimensions you want.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger for the relevant project, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real launch task and review the resulting design.

Delete asset by id
You can delete an asset by specifying its `assetid`. this operation mirrors the behavior in the canva ui. deleting an item moves it to the trash. deleting an asset doesn't remove it from designs that already use it.
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.
Exchange oauth 2 0 access or refresh token
The oauth 2.0 endpoint issues time-limited (4-hour) access tokens of up to 4kb for user authorization via codes or refresh tokens. it requires client id/secret for authentication.
Task Updated
