Turn a tagged Asana task into a social post design
Add the social-ready tag to a task and let Notis carry its message into a new Canva design.
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
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
Social post requests can be easy to miss when they are buried among unrelated project tasks.
- Use an existing Asana tag as a clear creative cue.
- Bring the task message into a new social design.
- Keep social design requests visible in the project workflow.
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 social post design when a chosen tag is added to a task.
- 3Describe the expected post and how Notis should use the task's content in one instruction.
- 4Pick Asana's Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by adding the tag to one real social task and review the design.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which tag was added?
Asana's tag event provides the tag as the event's parent resource. Name the intended tag in your instruction and test with a task where that tag is added.
Do I need to put the post copy in the task?
Yes, include the intended message and any useful audience or format context in the task.
