Use an Asana tag to request a Codemagic build
A clear tag can mark the moment a task is ready to build, while the task carries the details Codemagic needs.
Trigger
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.
Action
Start New Build
Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.
Why this helps
Build requests hidden in comments or scattered across tools are easy to miss during a busy release.
- Give the team a simple, visible signal for build requests.
- Reduce the need to repeat build instructions in another tool.
- Keep the requested build associated with its Asana task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Codemagic once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to start a build only when the designated release tag is added, using app, workflow, and branch details from the task.
- 4Pick Tag Added to Task in the relevant Asana project as the trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by adding the designated tag to one real task with complete build details.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify the tag?
The tag event provides the tag as its parent resource. State the designated tag in your instruction and test with a task carrying that tag.
What information should the task contain?
Include the Codemagic application, workflow, and branch needed for the requested build. Have Notis report missing information rather than infer it.
