Notis

Start a scanning workflow from an Asana task

Give a scanning setup its own task, and let Notis turn the request into a CodeREADr service.

Trigger

New Task Created

Triggers when a new task is created in a project.

Action

Create CodeREADr Service

Tool to create a new workflow configuration (service) for scanning tasks. Use after obtaining a valid API key when registering a new Service.

Why this helps

A request to set up scanning can get buried while someone switches from task planning to service configuration.

  • Keep service setup requests attached to the work that prompted them.
  • Reduce the handoff between task planning and scanning configuration.
  • Ask Notis to interpret the task details and create a suitable service.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and CodeREADr once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in a channel or under Automations, New Automation in the portal.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a CodeREADr service from new Asana tasks that describe a scanning workflow.
  • 4Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real task and confirm the service details before relying on the automation.

Questions about this workflow

Does every new Asana task create a service?

Describe which tasks should result in a service in your instruction. Notis can use task details to decide whether the request fits.

Do I need to map task fields to service fields?

No. Tell Notis the outcome in plain language. This workflow does not use a field-mapping screen.
