Action

Get Asset

Why this helps

Asset details can take extra steps to locate when a file arrives as part of active task work.

  • Connect asset review with active task work.
  • Reduce manual lookup steps when the asset ID is available.

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Cloudlayer once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which asset details to retrieve in one instruction.
  • 3Pick Asana Attachment Added to Task as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports go, then test with an attachment and available asset ID.
