Review Cats portals when a task gets an attachment
A new task attachment can signal that a project needs a quick resource check. Have Notis retrieve Cats portal listings so the portal metadata is ready to review.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Get Portals
Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.
Why this helps
Switching from a task to a separate cat-resource search can interrupt project work and leave a useful lookup until later.
- Bring Cats portal listings into the task follow-up moment.
- Reduce manual context switching between Asana and Cats.
- Keep the lookup tied to the event that prompted it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Cats once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Cats portal listings when an Asana task attachment is added.
- 4Pick the Attachment Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real attachment event and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
What does this automation retrieve?
It uses the Cats Get Portals action to list portal metadata. The action supports pagination after authentication.
Does it inspect the attachment itself?
The listed Asana event confirms an attachment was added to a task. The Cats action retrieves portal listings; this pairing does not establish that attachment contents are analyzed.
