Bring ClickHouse context to new Asana comments
When a discussion adds context to a task, check the relevant data without switching into a separate analytics workflow.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Execute ClickHouse Query
Execute a sql query in clickhouse and return the results. this is the primary action for querying data from clickhouse databases.
Why this helps
Important discussion can trigger a follow-up question, but the answer may live in a data store that takes time to search.
- Surface relevant analytics when a project conversation changes.
- Keep a short result near the event that prompted the question.
- Avoid repeatedly switching tools to look up related data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the new comment and task context to query ClickHouse for the specific metrics you care about.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger for the project.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can ClickHouse understand the comment on its own?
Notis can use the event context when constructing a query, but it needs a useful table, schema, and clear metric goal. Provide missing context in your instruction.
Will this reply to the Asana comment?
No. The available target action is a ClickHouse query, which returns results. This workflow can make those results available in the run report.
