Pair tagged Asana work with a Cats portal lookup
A tag can signal that a task needs a particular kind of attention. Ask Notis to retrieve Cats portal listings when that tag event occurs.
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
Get Portals
Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.
Why this helps
Tags can signal follow-up intent, but remembering to run the related lookup adds another interruption.
- Use an existing tag event as a prompt for a lookup.
- Keep the response connected to task triage.
- Avoid a separate manual step for portal discovery.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Cats once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Cats portal listings when an Asana task is tagged.
- 4Choose Tag Added to Task as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real tagged task and review the run report.

What does the Asana tag event provide?
