Make useful next steps easier to find in comments
Important decisions can disappear in a long comment thread. Ask Notis to extract the next steps that the new comment actually states.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
Finding commitments in task discussions takes attention away from doing the work.
- Review a concise summary of a new comment
- Separate explicit commitments from unanswered questions
- Notice owners and dates only when stated
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to analyze the new comment's available text and extract explicit actions, named owners, dates, and unresolved questions.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and adjust the extraction instruction.
Questions about this workflow
Will it infer an owner or deadline when the comment leaves one out?
The instruction should ask it to mark those details as missing rather than guess.
Does it read the full comment history?
The trigger is a new comment. Do not assume prior comments are included unless they are supplied to the automation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
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.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
