Get a quick effort estimate for new Asana tasks
A new task can be hard to size when the details are scattered. Ask Notis to analyze the description and return a rough estimate with its reasoning.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created 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
Unclear task size makes planning harder and adds another round of manual review.
- Get a consistent first-pass estimate from the task details
- See the assumptions behind each estimate
- Spend less time sizing small tasks by hand
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 each new task's available title and description, estimate effort, and report its reasoning and missing details.
- 4Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task and adjust the instruction if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Does this estimate reflect my team's historical pace?
Only if you provide that history or an estimating rule in the instruction. The workflow can analyze the details it receives, but should not assume historical data is available.
Will this update the Asana task?
No. The selected action runs Python and returns its result; it does not include an Asana update action.

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.
