Give tagged Asana tasks a Cody triage thread
Use task tags as a signal to start the right investigation, with Cody ready to help sort through the context.
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
Create Conversation
Tool to create a new conversation with a specified bot. Use when starting a new conversation thread with optional focus mode to limit bot's knowledge base to specific documents.
Why this helps
Tagged tasks can mark special handling, but the reason for the tag and the next move may still require manual triage.
- Start investigation when a task receives a tag
- Make the tag and task context available for triage
- Reduce the chance that special handling tasks stall
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Cody once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in a channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to start a Cody conversation to triage the task when a tag is added, including the tag context available.
- 4Pick Asana's Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tagged task and check that the tag context is clear.

How does Notis identify the tag?
For Asana tag events, the resource is the task and the parent is the tag, so parent.gid gives the tag GID.
