Questions about a job number can trigger a round trip from Asana to CircleCI and back just to find its status and timing.
- Keep job questions close to the conversation that raised them.
- Fetch status, timing, and executor information for a specific job.
- Make follow-up easier to find in a chosen report channel.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the job lookup.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to retrieve details for a CircleCI job referenced in a new comment.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment that includes a valid CircleCI job number.
