Refresh Cats portal listings as project work changes
A task update can be a useful moment to refresh a resource lookup. Let Notis fetch the available Cats portals and report the result where you work.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Get Portals

Why this helps
Small updates can change what needs attention, while a separate lookup competes with the work already in progress.
- Tie a portal lookup to an existing task update.
- Reduce task switching for recurring resource checks.
- Route the result to a chosen run report channel.
