Give every new Asana task a Cody research thread
A task can be the start of a decision. Give it a Cody thread for the context and questions that move it forward.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
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
New tasks often arrive without enough context, leaving founders to search company knowledge and reconstruct what to do next.
- Create a dedicated place to investigate task questions
- Reduce manual context gathering after task creation
- Keep planning work tied to the incoming task
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 for each new task and summarize the task context and open questions.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and confirm the conversation is useful.
